Hunter's comment

Inventions that help disabled people always bring warmness to my heart. Losing an arm must be hard to handle but I hope the Luke Arm will bring back joy for all those people. Please see this.

The LUKE arm is the only commercially-available prosthesis with a powered shoulder, allowing a shoulder-level amputee to reach over their head. In its shoulder configuration, it features ten powered joints. The hand on each LUKE arm is pre-programmed to perform a variety of grip patterns.

This is an amazing system and I'm sure devices like this make a positive change in people's lives after being wounded.

Thank you for checking my hunt, have a good one!

That's great! It's good that we are getting more and more better in this field. I think the time is not far when we'd be getting prosthetic very near to working just like originals.

Damn!, even though I have bookmarked this product, but you stole it. LOL.

I have also entered your hunt into the Top 3 Hunts today in my steempress blog. Congrats @ licence2drill


This product will of course be very useful for human's future. Especially for PWD. Yes, you can imagine when we don't have a hand, it will be very difficult to do anything.

Hopefully this product will be realized quickly, and the acceleration will increase. Maybe so this can be used for other things like typing, etc.

now there is a good tech
totally love the fact that there are group of engineers out there working for the physically challenged ones in our society
Nice hunt friend

Great hunt buddy. There will be a time where disabilities may actually become an advantage. Cheers bro!

Thanks mate! I don't know all about that, but I am happy to see lots of progress in that area. Its great!

Bye dude!

I feel the same. Technology should always be used to improve quality of life. The "Luke" Arm definitely falls into that category. It's amazing how it can be used to hold something as light and fragile as an egg, then pick up a glass of water. Great find.

this is for sure a good news for handicap person. This is really a bright future for them. Thank you for the great hunt
