The arm will allow an amputee to not only grasp objects but to control the device with the mind and to return the sense of touch once again. The device is called the “Luke Arm” after the one used in the Star Wars film by the character Luke Skywalker. It works by tapping into an individual’s existing muscles and nerves.
