LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- A Danish amputee is the first in the world to feel with a sensory-enhanced prosthetic hand surgically wired to nerves in his upper arm, researchers said.
Nine years after an accident caused the loss of his left hand, Dennis Aabo Sorensen, 36, was fitted with a prosthetic hand developed by Swiss and Italian scientists containing revolutionary sensory feedback that allowed Sorensen to feel again -- in real time --while handling objects, Switzerland's Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne reported Thursday.
