Scientists and Surgeons Team Up to Make Life Easier for Amputees. 

David Brockman, a retired CalFire captain and avid outdoorsman, built 
a deck in the backyard of his home last year, without the use of his 
dominant right hand, which he lost in an accident. The prosthetic 
hand he used instead was a crude but functional steel 
hook-and-harness device.  

Brockman has tried other artificial limbs, including a high-tech 
prosthesis called a myoelectric. It looks like a hand and works by 
using electrical signals from muscles in the forearm. But that one  
just didn´t work for him.
