      Martina, your ability to come back from such a traumatic experience and turn it into something positive is commendable. I appreciate you sharing just how difficult it was for you to get to a place where you were mentally able to make your prosthetic video, because your typical shining personality after the accident made me question whether you are a cyborg or human! 😂

    I like how Adam instantly understood pitfalls of the function of the hand and started throwing out ideas of improvements. As lifelong user of knee-ancle-foot braces I really love that they went in to looks. So often the talks stop at function. For the plastics they used for my braces when I was young, they have at times provided patterns that you could add. I remember a denim pattern. But often it stops at color. Now my braces largely consists of carbon fibre, which has a cool pattern in itself.

    She could add a thermister to the finger tip and add a little display to the glove that shows the temp at the finger tip. This way she could check the temp of hot coffee, for example.

    This is amazing. Love Martina. I actually showed her video creating her own prosthetic pinky to my mother (with a prosthetic leg from the knee down). Helped her become more comfortable with wearing prosthetics that aren’t realistic looking. This is a beautiful meeting of creative minds.

    • @R0NINH00D
      @R0NINH00D 2 месяца назад +9

      Example: when she got her first prosthetic she was insistent that it must look identical to the original leg. Didn’t want anyone to notice it. I have a mind like Martina and said she should get creative with us and put a rechargeable battery pack in the calf with USB ports so she/we could charge our devices while hanging out with her. Bonus points if she could make the calf double as Wifi hotspot. She wasn’t ready for that with her first leg. 5 years later she couldn’t care less about it not looking real due to the younger generation leaning into a cybernetic limb aesthetic. So thank you Martina, you’re making others with prosthetics become more comfortable and less self conscious.

      Also Nerdforge couldn’t have found a better person to collaborate with. Seeing the excitement on everyone’s face as they thought of new ideas for the next iterations…. Priceless. Adam’s wealth of experience on successful techniques and pitfalls he found throughout his own career is an incredible resource for them to have. He can save them hours/weeks of trial and error by sharing his wealth of knowledge with them. This is what the internet should be for. Beautiful minds coming together empathetically to brainstorm on a project that positively impacts the lives of many people they will never even meet.

      Google "Billy Monger". He lost both his legs in a motor racing accident. He regularly participates in the UK Channel 4 Formula 1 coverage wearing shorts.
      And kind of on-topic; there's at least one amputee I've seen with a "How To Train Your Dragon" Hiccup outfit. He even has a custom leg prosthetic.

      @@No1sonuk Yeah, I've seen videos, he is also inspiring. But Martina has a special place in my heart because I am also an artist. Love seeing her create artwork and then make her own prosthetic finger after losing the finger while crafting. Gives a whole new meaning to someone putting their blood, sweat, and tears into their art. Billy is inspirational as well of course, I feel like his story resonates more for sports and fitness fans.

      Don't. I lost half a finger to ring avulsion, and made my own prosthetics based on this design. I'll be honest, it's a prop and an interesting gimmick. It's not very functional, not even 40% of your natural bio-mechanical finger.
      It's still a frail mechanism no matter how hard you reinforce it, grip is weak, the knuckles lining up is a real problem that isn't really solvable due to the design, the hassle of wearing a wristband or a glove is annoying and not very practical. In fact, it's so bad I don't even bother anymore and just use it without the fishing line.
      I'd have taken an injured, immobile reattached finger had it taken over this 100 times out of 10.
      Things it does help / work with: It does look pretty cool and it helps me to stay mentally at peace over the fact I have a gap in my hand, you can type with it (but it's no big deal without either, at least a ring finger), you can press switches and it helps with certain gripping motions and levering things that aren't heavy.
