Chinese man makes own prosthetic limbs
Sun Jifa is a Chinese veteran who has created his own bionic arms and is now helping other amputees in his country. At age 27, Sun lost his hands in a fishing-related explosion. Unfortunately, he soon realised he could not afford the prosthetic hands recommended by the local hospital. After eight years of creating prototypes, he says he finally developed a working model that would allow him to grip, hold, and mimic other necessary movements via a system of pulleys and wires. "Up to now, my artificial limbs are beautiful and can be designed with the help of the disabled person's own motivation," Sun explains.
