ROBOTIC ARM: How it works!

Learn all about robotic prosthetics, aka myoelectric devices! Find out how they work, how people can control the movements, and meet Tracy, a woman who wears a prosthetic arm! It gives you an incredible appreciation for medical technology and hope for those who have an amputation or congenital limb difference.

Huge thank you to Tracy, Kylee and Todd for participating in this video!

I got a microprocessor knee a few weeks ago! It’s has changed my life so much and it is the best knee I have had in my 12 years of life 😁

[Rachel_phantom]

I have a myoelectric prosthetic! Love showing people how it works 🥰

[brandoncoventry]

Thank you for this video! I'm a researcher in translational neural engineering and I love seeing these devices get more exposure!

[leilabarbosa]

Wow i've always knew of their existence but never how they really work. Thank you so much! I love you new hair cut. Suits you so well. Loves from Cape Verde, Africa

[jarkkov]

you are propably, the most friendliest person in the world 😊

[adoredina]

You inspire me to work in the medical field. I love your videos and keep doing what you’re doing

This is a very interesting video! As an engineer who does medical research, I love videos like this to learn about new things. My boss was trying to push me to continue working on lasers for surgery. I feel like there are a lot of engineers who end up doing one specific thing in medicine that isn't too appealing to them. I have friends who find medicine boring because they don't see all of the different aspects of it -- they just think of sitting in a lab and pulling bones apart or crushing them to get tension data, for example. Or they think of people who just decide what materials to make screws out of.
Are you planning on making more videos of this sort of content where you show the great impact engineering can have on people's lives?
PS Happy Holidays Siobahn!

Please do a video on bariatric surgery/bariatric patients. I think it’s so important that medical personal in the emergency department and other areas know more about this especially the mental emotional side of things for the patient. Also so society knows more about the surgery and the process people have to go through to have surgery in Ontario.

I would LOVE to see you shadow an OT! Your videos are so interesting and they really help me understand what allied health professionals I will likely work with in the future (current OTA student here) 😁

My husband helped design what’s known as the Luke Skywalker prosthetic arm here in the States. It was pretty cool.

It’s so interesting and cool to me to learn about this field— as well as the history of prosthetic devices.
Just so neat to see our efforts to mimic and create a tool that functions like the original grow over the decades.

Highlight of my Saturday - an upload from Siobhan! This is so interesting and I’ve learned so much from just one video. Keep up the good work! :D

[lottecoeckelbergh]

That is so fascinating! I'm sure they can really transform lives! I never knew they existed, I though only movies and books

[nathanheaverlo]

It’s so crazy to see how fast prosthetic devices are progressing! I’d imagine there’s a little bit of a learning curve when getting used to them though. Especially when you showed the process of “learning” the electrical impulse signals. In the learning process, is it a patient by patient process, or is it more of a universal fit? Maybe some fine tuning depending on the patient?

I just got my COVID vaccine and I’m so happy!!

[imogenoliver]

You never fail to tell or show me something new about medicine, thankyou. You’re incredible and I can’t wait to see what you do next ☺️.

[juliajohnson]

I’m actually going to school to develop prosthetics, so it’s interesting to see this from an MD’s perspective. I think it would have been good to dive a bit more into how expensive prosthetics actually are. Great video overall!

[missskellington]

I saw you on the discovery channel this morning on a show called Strange Evidence, and I was so excited for you! Congratulations on all of your amazing achievements, Doc! ♥️

[ashikihsan]

It is a good explanation of you Siobhan about the Robotic Prosthetic hand and leg fixing to the disabled people. I like those Robotic Prosthetic making by those technicians Siobhan

[EroUsagiSama]

Thanks for the video Sheuvonne! It's crazy how prosthetics technology has advanced, I remember how impressed I was seeing Luke's prosthetic in empire strikes back, now I'm impressed to see how close we're getting to that level.
