A new type of surgery may give amputees better control over their artificial arms, allowing them to point a finger, grasp a baseball bat or even give someone a pinch.
Jesse Sullivan, 61, demonstrates advanced, multi-degree control of the JHUAPL Proto 1 arm at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
Sullivan lost his arms in an electrical accident in 2001.
He was the first person to receive the targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) procedure in 2001.
