bionic hands

Powered artificial limbs

Bionic hands are artificial hands that use electronic and mechanical systems to restore function after amputation or congenital limb difference.

Unlike passive prosthetics, bionic hands detect electrical signals from remaining muscles, translating intention into movement—gripping a cup, turning a key.

The technology continues advancing toward finer motor control and sensory feedback: Her new bionic hand lets her feel pressure when shaking hands.
