Iraq war veteran Sgt. Juan Arredondo one of the first recipients of a bionic hand with independently moving fingers called the i-Limb, grasps a tennis ball during an interview Monday, July 23, 2007 in New York. Arredondo's bionic hand has finger 'joints' that flex and bend like natural fingers. Each finger has an individual motor powering it, enhancing dexterity and allowing patients to do activities they were unable to do with previous prosthetics, such as shaking another person's hand and naturally grasping around round objects such as door knobs, fishing rods, and computer mouse.
