a dislocated wrist can be particularly problematic. it's not them liam, does this, i love flying more than anything, and i've been playing the piano since i was a girl. so my 1st thought was, what will happen to those 2 things? i love, i live in shops because young pilot, loud cometh, dislocated a joint in both rifts in the fall to dislocated joint found like it would be easy to fix. how a security is high in a dislocated risk, which is usually the wrist is also broken. no hm. and there are torn ligaments isn't all of that needs to be realigned in repairing those joins requires very precise and complex surgery at la comma had a serious injury, which was clearly visible on the x ray. you'd have more fun. why? this is the loony bone. it's called that because it's crescent shape elephant on the mine. it's popped out of its normal position. the on the other bones are still
4:39 am
in the correct position, but they're no longer a functional unit. because these carpal bones and the ligaments form a unit, a nun, if one bone pops out, won't be, the ligaments are affected. all of this and the rest becomes unstable as on getting things to be. when her ambulance arrived at the trauma center, she was no longer conscious. what do you remember about the accident? it shunt i'm to mcclinton. i was in line waiting for a climbing wool. it was busy, so i figured i'd try a different one. i started climbing and just forgot to secure myself. but luckily i didn't climb all the way to the tom about some company that would have been over 6 meters. i let go after 3 or 4 meters or not right before i hit the ground, i realized i wasn't secured. so i automatically reached out and fell on my hands. it was the worst pain i'd ever felt in my life. as i was lying there,

4:46 am
specific movements, the robotic lem, we'll use artificial intelligence to learn specific movement patterns. the electrodes inside the robotic lim, register the muscle impulses in the upper arm. the app matches these muscular patterns to specific movements and stores them. while vice gang bowers spent weeks learning the basics. the company's engineers were building his robotic lim. now it's ready to learn and adapt to voice gang bowers movement patterns. his robotic lim has brought him a major increase in quality of life. but in his drawings, movements is just amazing room. all you have to do is imagine opening your hand and the robot hand opens out a taylor imagine closing at it or, and it closes same with rotating. anything on the prosthetic arm just doesn't intervene. as with many things, practice makes perfect. that's the only way the intelligent prosthesis can continue
