Raylen Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I honestly wanted to know... How do people get along without arms? Say your arms were removed from the shoulders. I mean how do they dress? How do they undress? (Not perverted enough to google search this) I guess they use their feet, but how? I need a bit more details - I've tried. I can't even imagine how they do everyday things with their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathSDelano Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 There's a product called Prosthetics. Its really helpful for people without limbs. My friend's uncle has a prosthetic leg and arm. Can he kick and punch with them? If so than i would so recommend people not to get on his bad side because Prosthetic arm and leg would HURT ALOT MORE THAN REGULAR ARM AND LEG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I was expecting this topic to be about guns. Anyways, as said, prosthetics are used. The newer ones are better and made war veterans cry. Why? Cause they felt as if they had their arms back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Duelist Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Theres this person in the United States who got her arm amputated and got a prosthetic arm mind controlled... something about connecting it to her nervous system. Its a sad thing to have your arm ripped off.. :([spoiler=Mind Controlled Prosthetic Arm]http://theendofbeing.com/2010/05/06/posthuman-limbs-mind-controlled-prosthetic-arm/************************Written on 05/06/2010 at 6:49 PM by Red CellPOSTHUMAN LIMBS – Mind Controlled Prosthetic ArmFiled under PEOPLEno commentsby Red Cell Claudia Mitchell is one of the world’s first volunteers, and the first woman, to undergo nerve-rerouting (targeted muscle reinnervation) surgery, as well as getting a brain-controlled prosthetic. This prosthetic arm is controlled with her mind! Mitchell truly is a bionic pioneer.The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and robotics designer Todd Kulken, developed the $3 million “myoelectric” arm for Mitchell after she suffered the loss of her left arm due to a motorcycle accident. “Myoelectric” means the bionic limb receives electrical signals straight from Mitchell’s brain and into her nerves. Electrodes send these signals from her flesh to the limb, which uses a computer to interpret which action she wants. Surgeons routed a lot of the nerves from her arm to her chest, which had some unusual results like when Mitchell showers, she can feel the water that hits hers chest in her phantom limb. Scientists use the spots on her chest that her brain interprets as part of her arm to attach electrodes to, allowing the computer to recognize these signals and use them to manipulate the bionic limb. If you didnt have arms, you would have to use your feet. I heard about a painter who used her feet to paint. They could also have an electric wheelchair controlled by feet movements... I really feel sorry for people with amputated arms/legs/etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 It's amazing how some people manage without arms. The ones I've seen do everything with their feet. It's weird, but awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
