INCREDIBLE! Swedish woman gains bionic prosthesis that fuses with bones, nerves and muscles; look

Karin, a 50-year-old Swedish woman, had a experience of transformative life by receiving a bionic hand that integrates directly with your bones, muscles and nerves, providing you with an amazing recovery.

The need for this technology arose after a serious agricultural accident that left part of his right arm amputated.

In this sense, the prosthesis, which incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) to understand commands, was implemented about five years ago and is a notable milestone in the advancement of prosthetic technologies.

The prosthesis solved two decades of pain

Karin faced acute phantom limb pain for more than 20 years after the accident, describing the feeling as if she had her hand constantly stuck in a meat grinder.

Furthermore, the conventional dentures she previously used were uncomfortable and of limited usefulness in her everyday life.

However, the revolutionary bionic hand, called Mia Hand and developed by the company Prensilia, has brought significant relief. The implantation of the prosthesis was not limited to just offering functionality.

Furthermore, it also substantially reduced Karin's pain. She reported that she now has better control over her prosthesis and needs less pain medication.

The improvement in Karin's quality of life is due to the combination of advanced technologies, including osseointegration and electrical connection with the nervous system.

Osseointegration involves the solid fixation of the prosthesis to Karin's skeleton through a process in which the bone tissue adheres to the titanium.

This creates a solid mechanical connection, allowing the prosthesis to function more naturally. Furthermore, the electrical connection to the nervous system is achieved through electrodes implanted in the nerves and muscles, allowing Karin to control the prosthesis with remarkable precision.

The study leader, Professor Max Ortiz Catalán, head of Neural Prosthesis Research at the Institute of Bionics from Australia, emphasized that Karin is the first person with a below-elbow amputation to receive this technology.

Additionally, Karin now uses neural resources similar to those used by her biological hand, which explains the reduced pain and greater control she has experienced.

This advancement is a promising testament to the life-changing capabilities of this new technology for people facing limb loss.

Prosthetic acceptance is a key part of success, and the Mia Hand is designed to be aesthetically appealing and customizable, allowing users to take pride in their appearance and functionality.

As a result, this innovation offers hope and inspiration to people in similar situations, showing that cutting-edge technology can play a crucial role in transforming and improving your lives.
