Nigerian firm revolutionises the world of prosthetics with bionic arms

And finally, a prosthetics firm in Nigeria has created a breakthrough that’s changing the lives of amputees — bionic arms. In the state of Aqua Ibom, the company’s humanoid bionic arms are not only functional and humanlike to match Nigerians’ skin tones, but the prosthetics work with the signals sent from the brain to different hand muscles. They hope to make their products accessible and inclusive to amputees worldwide. Story by Emily Boyle.
