Prize for Bionic Hand

In the UK, the i-Limb has won an innovation prize. It is a prosthesis with fingers that can move independently (I would think that certain motor programs require a very close 'functioning together' of the fingers, but perhaps they incorporated such things). It gets its input from myoelectric signals from the arm's muscles. i_limb i-Limb by Touch Bionics (source BBC)
