Make The "Hook" Obsolete - Turn Bad Stares Into Good Stares
12 May 2016
I'm not looking to just get myself a hand thats a "neat toy" but have a stab at making the old "hook" obsolete... Mioelectric...3d hands i've seen so far ALL are nice toys but are pretty much less useful than a stump in any job outside of an office worker. All my life i've been told when getting arms replaced that i ware them out faster than anyone by far, i know where the bar is and what would REALLY make a difference to the majority of prosthetic "hook" wearers Worldwide.
Stone Age Equipment
horrible - easily 40-50 year old design!
And to get one takes Months! multiple "fittings"....
The right design ticking all the boxes has the potential to improve the lives of people all over the globe.
Wearing one of these since i was 6 months old - I feel i am pretty qualified in what can and should be done to improve this outdated piece of "technology".
There are plenty of flashy "toys" coming out with robotic hands etc...but to reach the most people in this particular market you need to revolutionize this old workhorse that just gets the job done and keeps coming back for more.
