  The internet has been watching her grow up over the years and it’s crazy how natural those arms are to her now. She’s basically integrated them as part of herself.

  I think if you survive the tragedy of losing a limb, the world owes you the opportunity to get super bionic arms that can work remotely.

    This is very much in the realm of it has to work pretty perfectly to be worth the fuss. As neat as these are most people prefer the simple dumb prosthetics as they are predictable and reliable. The fuss and imperfections and charging etc that come with these make them look cool in demos but most people abandon them in trials.

    I’ve lost my penis in the war. I’m like an exact replica prostetic please! That’s right, 12 inches, thick as a beer can. I said exact replica after all!

    Oh, and since it’s prostetic anyways, maybe we can build it with vibration, and led gamer lights? Oooh! Ooh!!! And make it shoot off fireworks! And make a laser light show that reacts to music!!!

    What? I said exact replica! My penis could do all this already!

  Those usually aren’t nerve controlled. If you have a stump left of the lower arm, sensors can detect muscle movement, and clenching your hand does move some muscles in your lower arm close to the elbow.

  Source: My dad had a prosthetic left arm. The stump was similar to the one in this video.

    Yeah, you can see her arm moving as she flexes the muscles.

    I don’t know if these are or aren’t nerve controlled, I suspect it’s going bad the muscle movement you described

    But let’s assume they are in fact controlled by nerves

    Most of the movement of your fingers actually comes from muscles in your forearm pulling on tendons that go into your fingers.

    So assuming you wanted to hook a prosthetic up to the same nerves and such you’d have used for your real fingers, you’d still probably end up flexing your forearm muscles because that’s where those nerves go

  No more having to sit on your hand to make it feel like a stranger is giving you a happy ending.
