Sepsis took Karen Sussex´s right arm about six years ago, but not her
positive attitude.
Sussex, from Jackson, loves her low-tech prosthetic arm, adorned with
stickers from her beloved Detroit Red Wings and a hook on the end. She
even jokes that her nieces and nephews call her "Captain Hook."
Still, the loss of her arm took away her livelihood on a manufacturing
and injection molding assembly line in her hometown. But now, Sussex
has found a solution to that as a participant in Michigan Medicine
research into robotic arms with fine-motor movement.
