Thankyou Todd and team, you're doing great things.
Amanda I'm using the Be-Bionic v3 and powered wrist, I'm soo jealous that you've got wrist flexion as well. But thanks to you and other amputees who are pushing the boundaries, these things that "normal" humans take for granted may soon be available to all of us. Good luck sweetheart :)

Oh my goodness stop with the obnoxious comments. Just think about how exciting this is for us , what if you loose your arm anytime soon, you never know what can happen, this is a complete lifesaver. It's just so cool how quickly we're renovating our technology and the amazing heights that we're able to reach. Im impressed and these first few testing amputees like Jesse Sullivan have put so much time and effort and risked their life(they knew it would be worth it no matter what)
