Since a childhood mishap, Australian swimmer Jessica Smith has had a tense relationship with prosthetics. However, a British bionic hand that can be updated remotely from anywhere in the globe is challenging her beliefs.
The paralympian from Athens in 2004 was born without a left hand.Her parents were advised to fit a prosthesis to aid in her development, but when she was a child, the device prompted her to upset a boiling pot, resulting in 15% of her body being burned.
The most horrific occurrence in her life was brought on by the prosthetic device, she claimed, and there has always been a connection between the two.But when Leeds, northern England-based Covvi invited her to try its Nexus hand, it piqued her interest.
