Charlotte+Bionic+arm+notes

=__Notes on the bionic arm__=
 * Devoloped in the Neural Engineering Center for Artificial Limbs(NECAL)
 * Artificial arm is connected to the neve systems in their chests
 * when the patient thinks "clap hands" the patient claps their hands
 * Most powerful=kind that are controlled using myoelectric signs from muscels from the cut off arm, but is very slow
 * Has been VERY successful
 * designed for adults and children

=__Ways to lose an arm__= =__Jesse Sullivan Notes__= 1.Who is Jesse Sullivan? The first man to ever get a bionic arm. 2.What life Changing Event did he undergo? When and How? Jesse had both his arms replaced with bionic arms on 2001. His arms were amputated while he was working on the powerlines. 3.What was his life like before and after he became the first Bionic Man? Before:He lived an average life working on the powerlines After:He became the first person to ever have a bionic arm and became very famous 4.Who developed the technology of Bionic Arm? Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago students 5.How does the technology of Bionic arm work (hint: nerve-muscle graft)? they take the nerves that used to go to the arm and moved them to the chest. The moves neves were attached to the bionic arm so when the person thinks "down" the arm goes down 6.What is the difference between this technology and the conventional myoelectric control methods (hint: fast vs. slow, natural vs. unnatural, etc.)? 7.How does Jesse Sullivan feel of his new bionic arms? 8.Who manages this project?
 * Car or other vehicle crash
 * amputation
 * war
 * bombing
 * frostbite
 * sharks or other animal attacks
 * chemical explosion
