Kid Shows Off His Strength While Using Prosthetic Arm
Medical experts told this kid he would most likely never wear a prosthesis. Well, dad accepted the challenge and created this prosthetic arm with a 3D printer. Look how durable it is!

Kid tests out new 3D printed robot arm
Young Sol (6) tests a new 3D printed 'robot' arm. This prototype uses a body-powered grabber and a 'harmonic drive' motorized wrist designed and built by Sol's father (Ben Ryan, Ambionics.co.uk).

Voluntary Close | Body Powered Prosthetic Hand: Training Session
I am really impressed with how well my son is learning to use the hand I designed for him. Look at him go!
Sol tested this prototype in school last week and the training at home is coming along nicely. It's alien to him though. He's used to body-powered devices that work the opposite way (normally closed / voluntary open). Fast learner though - the apple didn't fall far from the tree ❤

Kid pinches mum's nose with new 3D printed assistive device
This is Dax! For the past fortnight, he has been helping his dad build a prototype and learn how to help children suffering from impaired motor control! It was worth sacrificing mum's nose during initial testing! Amazing!

First day with an electric arm
It took a year to make and only just fitted him but look how easily this amazing young man can use an artificial arm. We went to every single training session (160 mile round trip) but now sol is an expert controlling electrodes. This opened a world of possibility for us both.

Inside a 3D printed harmonic drive
This prototype went on to become the motorised wrist in my son’s prosthetic arm.
Very efficient and lightweight construction. It locks in place as soon as the power is cut.
For every 20 turns of the motor, the output turns once in the opposite direction. Very cool stuff!

Live life to the fullest
Another short family video set to soothing music. Filmed (once again) at our favorite beach on Anglesey, Wales, UK.
Sol (4) was wearing a body-powered cable system and a polyester socket which I designed and modelled from a 3D scan.
The hand is a split hook made from aluminum (from Steeper UK) which he can control using the cable system.
The orange part unclips allowing him to attach different hands to the prosthetic socket. Sol does have a prosthetist too but finds my devices more comfortable, lighter, and easier to use.

Boy tries his hand at frisbee
Why do we prefer body power to bionic hands?
Because you can't throw a frisbee like this with a bionic hand!

Sol's Tale
A few Rumblers have asked how Sol lost his arm. Here's a little video I put together showing what happened.
Warning: this film contains graphic images of amputation wounds
It's a horrific but beautiful couple of minutes that will take you on a journey for sure.

Never doubt your kids
For nearly a year, all of Sol’s school friends have been able to climb up the skateboard ramp in our local park but he couldn’t do it. It used to break my heart watching him struggle but fail each time.
I ‘knew’ it was something you can only do with two hands but never had the heart to tell him. I’m glad I kept my stupid mouth shut. because I was wrong. This week he did what needed to be done and found a way up, now there’s no stopping him. Look at him go. That’s my boy!

How to Adjust Prosthetic Sockets in Fusion 360 | Tutorial
After 5 months of using the Vario system, it looks like Sol needs a new #Prosthetic socket. This video is a How-to on digital socket adjustments and contains #Tips for #Autodesk #Fusion360 when modeling organic geometry. Sol compares two check sockets at the end.
Background: Sol recently began showing signs that his first Vario-socket needs replacing. After heavy play periods and especially after sports, Sol is left with a red mark from where his paw is rubbing against the socket. It's not painful but is something that cannot be left to worsen. When this starts to happen, Sol must wear a cotton sock over his paw whenever he uses his device. This protects the affected area and along with some ointment, keeps things moving for a couple of weeks. Sol doesn't like wearing cotton socks (which are just 0-6 month-old baby socks). He prefers the smooth surface of annealed rubber which creates a 'suction fit' allowing him to really throw the device around (for example when balancing or changing direction suddenly in football). The sock makes the arm feel loose and that won't do! It's now a race against time to get the new one fabricated. As we are moving into the UK summer, white, expanded rubber will be used this time. Be sure to subscribe to make sure you catch the next episode!

Harmonic drive prosthetic wrist update #1
Thanks to Additive America for mailing these parts out so quickly. Its made from Pa12 (tough) nylon with nylon fixings and stainless steel bearings.
We got the green light last week with our plans to control the wrist using muscle sensors. The clever people at Newcastle University, UK are on the case as we speak!
More updates soon. I have a bunch of corrections to make first. Stay tuned
[edit - new parts are already being made at Additive America!! We move quickly!)
