When Emma was 2, she wanted to play with blocks. But arthrogryposis meant she couldn't lift her arms. So researchers at a Delaware hospital 3D printed a custom assistive device that lets Emma color, hug and play. The 3D printed WREX is durable enough for everyday use, so Emma wears it at home, at preschool, and during occupational therapy. She calls them her "magic arms." And the design flexibility of 3D printing lets researchers continually improve upon the device - they've now made custom WREX arms for at least 15 kids.

Thank you for this!

Apparently, when a small disabled child claims that she has magic arms that makes her happy, its something corresponding to a crying spell from the Harry Potter universe. Got damn it

On the bright side, SHES NOW A CYBORG!

Part of me is very happy for Emma and her family but the other part of me is hurting knowing that not all affected families could afford something like this. The men in black suits always win.
