The Robot Hand

Masoud was only 17 years old when he lost his left forearm in the discoteque fire in Gothenburg. Now he will receive the world's most advanced arm prosthesis controlled using the power of his thoughts. A film about how almost science fiction-like research meets human needs and provides opportunities for a richer life.

Tonney lost his arm - now he has regained feeling through a new prosthesis

Tonney Forsberg lost his arm in a workplace accident several years ago. Today he wears a thought-controlled robotic arm and has regained sensation in his artificial hand.

"It's like a small processor that takes care of the signals from my nerves and sends them on", says Tonney.
