Alex Smith lost his right arm at 11 and now uses an advanced prosthetic that can do a three-finger pinch, two-finger pinch, wrist rotation, and a full 360-degree flick. He demonstrates how far prosthetic technology has come from what he used growing up.
I've got open and close. I've got a 3-finger pinch, and I've got a 2-finger pinch, and then I can rotate the wrist. Everyone always asks, can I flick people off? And the answer is yes. 360.
Alex Smith lost his right arm when he was 11 and has spent most of his life with a standard prosthetic.
This is what I wear.
It's simple and functional, but this is a story of where prosthetics are heading and how Alex got the ability to do things like this. I'm sorry, I had no choice.
