Picture

Retired US Army Sergeant Juan Arredondo, a veteran of the war in Iraq, wears the world's first bionic hand with independently moving fingers on July 23 in New York City. Arredondo lost his hand following an IED explosion in Iraq and is now able to use the i-Limb which has finger "joints" that act like natural fingers. PHOTO: AFP
