Claudia Mitchell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claudia Mitchell is the first woman to be outfitted with a bionic arm, making her one of the first non-fictional cyborgs. She was outfitted with the bionic arm to replace the arm she lost in a motorcycle accident.
Her bionic arm, a prototype developed by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, is as of August 2006 the most advanced prosthetic arm, and differs from other prostheses in that it does not require any implants.
