Soldier First To Get Bionic Arm

April 4, 2011

Corporal Andrew Garthwaite demonstrates the special prosthetic arm he’s had fitted after being injured by a rocket propelled grenade in Afghanistan.

Andrew is the first soldier injured in battle to benefit from the special limb.

He controls it by flexing his pectoral and back muscles together to perform different movements.

He says it’s helped him get back to doing things he loves, like riding his motorbike and he’s also hoping to rejoin the Army and get back to Afghanistan.
