Jordan Marotta, a five-year-old boy from the United States, was born without a left arm. The baby is the youngest child on the planet to receive a bionic arm (which is a combination of biology and electronics).
The kid had a dream to ride a scooter and his dream came true.
This limb was developed by Open Bionics. This futuristic bionic hand is a real hand for heroes.
At the boy’s request, it was decorated in red and gold, like the armor of the superhero Iron Man, who appears in American comics.
This is not an ordinary prosthesis, it uses special sensors that detect muscle contractions and convert them into bionic hand movements.
According to the child’s mother, Ashley Marotta, the new arm is a real boost for her son.
Ashley said Jordan was walking down the streets of Manhattan, raising his new arm and yelling “taxi!”
This model is called Hero Arm.
It runs on a 14-hour rechargeable battery and delivers performance that lasts for nearly a month.
The prosthesis is separated from where the boy’s left arm ends, and the procedure is non-invasive.
Many children who receive these prostheses are seven years of age or older.
The company agreed to equip Jordan at that age.
Because it was believed that the boy’s physical development and emotional maturity would make it easy to teach him how to use the device.
And with his heroic hand, little Jordan became the coolest guy in school.
“So happy and sweet”, “It’s impossible not to look at him”, people write online.
