9 year old girl with frozen-themed prosthetic


Nine-year-old Karissa Mitchell, born without a right hand and most of her wrist, was gifted with a "Frozen"-themed prosthetic arm last week. Her new 3-D printed prosthetic, however, is lightweight in comparison and doesn't require shoulder movements for control. The next project that the group plans to take on is building an arm for a girl named Veronica from Uganda. For its first project in 2015, the student-run Siena e-NABLE group created an Iron Man-themed hand that went to 5-year-old Jack Carder in Ohio. The gray hand in the middle, an i-limb ultra, is a top-of-the-line electronic prosthetic that can cost $100,000 .
