@@AnywhereMiami There's progress on all fronts, but there's always this curve where technology is exponentially more expensive and cumbersome the newer it is. Stuff like this that reads from the residual muscles has existed for ages, but it's been slowly getting more affordable and more practical. In research labs, there's progress on crazy stuff like direct control via nerves and even simulating the feeling of pressure on skin by stimulating nerves.

Too old for tiktok, but as a physiotherapist, I swear I am stupefied. Thank you for sharing your experience, this is the opportunity to learn more about new tech which could help my patients too!
You're so genuine and real. Your look of surprise and shock wearing your new arm for the first time filled me with joy for you. You deserve all the happiness and freedom your prostethetic brings you.
Thanx for sharing. I am learning how to assemble prosthetics for our Ukrainian community in 'Unbroken' center on the base of one of local hospitals. The great thing is you are positive about what new tech can give and improve freedom of motion. It inspires me as well. And it is so cool you keep inspiring other people with your vlog :)
Hi, Abby! Look up "Mose Jones Band" on RUclips. The bass player/lead vocalist is limb-different, his right arm is like yours. I saw them in concert years ago and the guy is a powerful bassist and a solid vocalist. They put on a great show!
I hope you and arm are doing great. I Watched the true limb documentary not long ago and I was blown away. I hope more people can jave access to this texh and improve their daily lives
Great job Abby with this ARM aide. May I ask if you can possibly wear a somewhat longer sleeve on your ARM that would extend to just before the controls after you learn more?
Omg, can you move it with your mind? How do the sensors work? Are they connected to your body muscles so they detect the movement you're trying to do? I read something about what it's called Proportional Myoelectric Control, these devices can receive myoelectric signals from your body nerves and muscles,they use a program to translate them in the movement they think you're trying to do, it looks like a real mind control and it's freaking awesome. The next step in these applications is gonna be to get through that and to look for a nervous system connection that goes from the brain more than the body muscles
Can you set up presets or loadouts on the app for different situations? Like tightening the grip to garb paper easier? Or preset the grip distance to soda or bottle width?
so I am not subbed to your channel , but this video was suggested . its been 10 months since you posted , I hope you are doing well and you learned even more about you arm . Happy Thanksgiving

Amazing from a technology perspective and ofc regarding added functionality to someone’s life. However the effort to make it look realistic seems detrimental at this point in time. It kind of gives of an uncanny valley vibe (even though it’s looks should not be the number 1 priority) , and I can imagine giving it a more stylized look might give more effective functionality, as well als being able to be tailored to someone’s personal taste (like with glasses). But still amazing how far this technology has gotten. Thank you for sharing this journey!
Hi Abby! It's really awesome and cool to see you having your new awesome bionic arm. Please make a music drum cover video using with your cool prosthetic arm. Probably it is like learning to play musical instrument back to zero again as a beginner.
YOU ARE NOT A ROBOT!!! You're a super cute girl with a prosthetic arm. I predict that in another 10-12 years, you will have a NEWER prosthetic arm that neither YOU, nor any observer, will be able to tell that it is a prosthetic device. It will be warm to the touch, you will "feel" things that are in your "hand", and you will be able to do nearly everything that you can do with your left arm and hand. Meanwhile, I can see you brushing your teeth, hair, etc. with this 3D printed arm / hand. Looking forward to your progress!!!
They should add voice activation and commands for that thumb and and modes .....should be able to say ..mode "green thumb" and goes to mode green and thumb moves and then you control the fingers and sensors as normal .....so that way could combine the two ...."Thumb close" and move fingers and now it fist ....so that way you never have to use your other hand to do things with prosthetic Muscle sensors and Voice Command combination would be way to do this with out having needing more sensors and more weight .....
As someone new to the channel, and a person with a minor deformity (no fingers/different fingers on my right hand and smaller palm) I have to ask you ... I got used to my hand, and this prosthetic just seems like a bother to me. I might not be able to grab or pinch stuff, but with everything else it just seems like it would be more of a bother than help. How is it to you ? But anyway nice video and I enjoy your positive vibe.
Just discovered you. Great attitude! I've scrolled through your videos, but two I didn't see, but would like to - how do you take heavy things out of the oven and how do you shave your arm pits? (Bit embarrassing 😳)
Do you have an arm prosethic for a quad amputee? It appears much of the usage requires pressing the button on the forearm and manipulating the fingers with the other hand. Thanks!
Lmao I have no clue if this was intentional but at 0:50 I thought you were getting ready to flip off the camera by the way your middle finger was positioned. Great stuff though. Here from reddit
That's cool. I don't know why but prosthetics were always cool to me. I follow another channel and he is making/developing a prosthetic for his hand [he lost all his fingers except his thumb and apparently they don't make good prosthetics (or at least working ones) for that so he's making his own]. I don't have any prosthetics [even though (if the technology was like just get a new 100% working hand) I would love to lose at least my right hand due to a horrible skin thing... skin randomly splits open causing pain and/or bleeding and it was really bad for a while but now I just have one deep cut on the side which is close to being deep enough to bleed. Also it's not just get medicine to fix it since I tried everything and it's just comes and goes but sometimes (not too long ago for a few weeks) my entire hand is throbbing and itching from the open wounds that I try closing with super glue, which doesn't always help]. Also I haven't made a TikTok due to it being "run" by the Chinese government, I worry enough about the US government overstepping their sloppy rules, I don't want to risk it with an authoritarian communist country that kills people with a history of spying... but that's just my opinion.
If you have wounds on your hand, you should seek out medical attention instead of gluing them back together yourself. Especially since glue is really only for minor cuts, or in combination with stitches. Or if you really, really need to do it yourself (why?), then get a staple gun.
I know you said you tried everything but have you tried aloe vera gel. You can make it by peeling leaves and putting in a blender or buy aloe gel. I seriously burned my hand and it worked really well. I have no scarring and it reduced pain. Just apply liberally 3 to 4 times a day. It's very good for skin. Good luck.
I think you should start a video series, where you hitchhike with the RoboThumb and do spontaneous interviews with the drivers and passengers, as you surprise them with the arm. The trick to a good interview is getting people to let their guards down to open up. I think you may have a unique way to do that. There are a lot of interesting everyday people and you have a great personality. I’m a former radio/TV guy and I can see this as a real unique TV show.
Hi Abby. What an inspiration you are. Have a look at this Mark Nelson video ruclips.net/video/pHyEQJ3ZHLc/видео.html I see Mark at local gigs at our village hall. He uses hammeronn's, slides and pulloff's to enhance his blues playing. Have a look at his video's
Thanks for posting all that you are learning with your TrueLimb Abby! It's an honor and a pleasure to work with you.
I have a request: what about some sensors on the head?
Like to make the reaction time shorter??
@@AnywhereMiami wow i didn't think about that

@@antonliakhovitch8306 could go the BCI route and then you could one day get your arm hacked. "Why are you hitting yourself" 🤣
You guys do damned good work 👍
I just love that you call it “arm”.
Super rad.

Nice to hear from you again! Really cool to see how they've designed the control interface - the thumb as a manual mode switch is a novel approach.
Maybe that finger button light thingy could be on inside of wrist so you could wear long sleeves.
This tech is amazing .... saw your first video and am blown away.....
I hope you and arm are doing great. I Watched the true limb documentary not long ago and I was blown away.
I hope more people can jave access to this texh and improve their daily lives
Wow, this is so cool !!!
Hello Abby, well, since we are in may, I beliave that a lot of improvements has been made, can't wait for the next update!
greetings from Brazil!
Great job Abby with this ARM aide. May I ask if you can possibly wear a somewhat longer sleeve on your ARM that would extend to just before the controls after you learn more?
It’s awesome to see how you’re getting on with it! (I’m far too old for Tiktok 😂). Thanks and I hope it continues!
It's truly amazing how far technology is coning. Maybe one day in the not-so-distant future, we will have fully articulate prosthetic limbs.
That is some wild stuff. I really hope it works out for you. Cool arm btw.
Very cool! Looks like my leg might be 3D printed. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen.
Yay! I missed seeing you on here! The Father's Day card made me LOL - I feel like that's happened to me, too! 😂
Awesome Girl 👍
I am interested on how that robotic arm is working for you.
- It is a sophisticated piece of technology.
ab learned finger guns nice. pow pow pow
Stay Strong Abbey 💕
That is so cool!

A fist fight? That's so Cyberpunk. Keanu Reeves could probably upgrade it for you. Hehe. That's really cool. I hope it's making things easier.

"What I've been learning with "arm"
Real arm: "Am I a joke to you?"
How do you control it? Is it mind controlled?

fascinating!
Is she livin the life right now 😄 been a while since we’ve heard from her
Mă bucur că ești optimistă. Am aceiași soartă ca și tine...
Do they ship in some kind of carbon optic too?
Nice
Which prosthesis do you use every day ?
How you got this hand ,I need 😭😭
Zoon it will be new version with more option.

Came here from the suitcase video
Why no more videos?
It seem like the fingers are huge?
I wonder about the real life utility?
Did it make everyday life better?
Really I Love You My Dear Friend

Waiting for new videos...
bet it has an ARM processor driving it

ruclips.net/video/x1BCoj2W31o/видео.html - This prosthetic hand looks way more advanced. It must be expensive.
Very cool! The generic background music is incredibly distracting though.

Is this channel dead?
We want more cyborg stuff
hi how are u
Who's gonna text it first? Come on, dirty little minds sound off?
No
Admit it the first thing you learned was how to flip people off 😂
i would be putting a tattoo on the arm
