A former soldier from 1 Rifles who lost his arm in a motorbike accident is now training to compete in one of the deadliest races in the world.


Chris Ganley has set his sights on becoming the first ever one-armed biker to race in the Isle of Man TT. A motorbike crash in 2014 saw Chris, who had raced for the Army, lose his left arm, break his spine in three places, suffer broken ribs and a bleed on the brain.

But it was the thought of getting back on the bike that motivated Chris through his rehabilitation at Headley Court in Surrey. Watch the report to learn more about Chris' efforts to get ready for the Isle of Man TT

 


 



NOTE  : Hello, I Mahen Pitale, Below Elbow Prosthetic Users, I came across some websites while surfing the internet, which would be very 
helpful for people who want to ride a motor bike (hand and leg amputees). And here is great information about bike modification and their
parts. And you will be inspired by watching videos of some amputee riders. This will give you more convenience to drive a motorbike.
For this, I thank the company that created the website. This information should reach maximum amputees, it is for this, not to do any
business. I request the amputees people to please drive without proper license, and modification ,only after doing good practice.

Prosthetic Care - Wearing Prosthetics In The Summer

 Wearing Prosthetics In The Summer  Summer months are getting hotter each year. And if you're thinking of spending a day at the beach or lounging by the swimming pool, you are not exempt from some skin and prosthesis-related problems that are commonly prevalent during the hot and humid season. So, we'd like to help you keep your vacations fun by exercising a bit of caution to prevent discomfort and even jeopardizing your mobility. In this article, we’ll help you prepare to make the most out of the remaining hot season while also staying clear of season-related skin and prosthetic problems.   1. Heat-related illnesses Before we delve deeper into the most common skin and prosthetic problems you may encounter this summer, we feel that we must talk about season-related illness such as heat stroke (a.k.a. sunstroke), heat cramps, and heat exhaustion. Taking care of your body works best when it’s done from the inside out. The body is designed to cool itself down under...

This Is the Most Amazing Biomimetic Anthropomorphic Robot Hand We've Ever Seen

Image
Image: Movement Control Laboratory/University of Washington With their hand, Xu and Todorov decided to start from scratch, duplicating the human hand mechanically in as accurate a way as possible. First, they laser scanned a human skeleton hand, and then 3D-printed artificial bones to match, which allowed them to duplicate the unfixed joint axes that we have, as Xu explains: “For example, the motion of our opposable thumb is relying on the complicated shape of the trapezium bone located at the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. Due to the irregular shape of the trapezium bone, the exact locations of CMC joint axes are not fixed. Thus, none of the existing anthropomorphic robotic hands can restore the natural thumb motions with conventional mechanical joints that require fixed rotation axes. We 3D print artificial bones from the laser-scanned model of a cadaver skeleton hand and connect them with artificial finger joints whose range of motion, stiffness, and dynamic behaviors are very close t...
