“If you see somebody begging under a bridge you might feel sorry for them or toss them a coin, but that\u2019s not empathy, it\u2019s sympathy or pity. Empathy is when you have a conversation with them, try to understand how they feel about life, what it\u2019s like sleeping outside on a cold winter\u2019s night \u2013 try to make a real human connection and see their individuality.\u201dGeorge Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London, 1933.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is an article out (Open Access, re-distributed [here<\/a>]) [1<\/a>], that aims to discuss prosthetic arms across engineering, imagination, representation and product design.<\/p>\n

I will provide a short review from view of a person with right below elbow amputation that works in a particular field, and uses the prosthesis for real work and hard manual activities also in their spare time (see this paper we published and that explains the relevant technicalities).<\/p>\n
