The Best Of Two Worlds

Luke Medland who can now wear his wedding ring on the right finger after he was given a specially adapted bionic arm. See MASONS story MNHAND; A romantic husband who was born without a left hand has had his bionic limb customised - so he is always wearing his wedding ring. Luke Medland, 31, was fitted with a carbon fibre Terminator-style mechanical hand - which is controlled by two electrodes on either side of his stump - seven months ago. The new bebionic3 myoelectric(double corr) hand moves like a real human limb by responding muscle twitches in Luke's lower arm.
