Chandigarh (Mera Chandigarh): The Central Scientific Instruments Organisation (CSIO) has got the privilege for the first time to develop battery-operated artificial hand and limbs for the army jawans of Indian Army.
As per the available information, the battery-operated artificial hand and limbs is fitted with electrodes to physically-challenged limbs which catches the movement of the muscles and activates the circuit to start the motion of the limb as required.
According to Arindam Chatterjee, project scientist, CSIO Chandigarh, the team has tested the developed battery-operated artificial hand and limbs on the patients at the National Institute for the Orthopedically Handicapped, Kolkata and provided a good response in functioning.
Therefore, now the physically handicapped jawans of Indian Army can compete equally in relevance to the normal army jawans and can function comfortably by rehabilitating the distorted hands and limbs.
