I didn’t see it in the article, but that hand seems to be missing a wrist, right? So far “only” the fingers and the thump are driven.

Cyberpunk or Ghost in the shell vibes.

How long has she been using it? It says

  • she’s two decades without hand, and now can use this
  • this one used for years
  • she has less pain issues now

So has she been using this for two decades? Some years but less?

Seems like they connected it after using more traditionals for a while?

No, it says she was without her right hand for decades, and that she got this one three years ago. So I assume she did not use traditional prosthetics?
