Toddler Gets 3D Printed Magic Arms
Researchers at the Nemours / Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children have created something heartwarming; a 3D printed exoskeleton that allows a two year old girl named Emma to move her arms for the first time.
When Emma was born she was diagnosed with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC). Children with AMC are frequently unable to move their arms on their own and the condition does not get better over time. Emma could not raise her arms to hug her parents, hold a crayon or play with a toy.
