SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WFRV) - A Sheboygan man who lost part of his hand in a work-related accident has a new grip on life thanks to new technology.
Lee Miller, 34, was in an industrial accident 11 years ago and had three of his fingers amputated.
Then, a few months ago, Lee found out that he was a good candidate for a new type of prosthesis. It is called the i-limb and is designed by Advanced Arm Dynamics.
The i-limb has sensors inside the glove and just a twitch of the muscle triggers movement.
