    New initiative by and for people with arm prostheses

    More than 270,000 people around the world wear an arm prosthesis, over 30,000 of whom are residents of the US. There are countless reasons why people may have come to obtain a prosthesis, including illness, accident, and congenital physical disability (dysmelia). Gina from Germany, Bebe from Italy, and Cameron from the USA are three people who are experiencing life with a prosthesis. All three have gone through the process of arm amputation, but what also connects them is their passion for taking on new challenges and helping others. Together with Ottobock and other international bionic rock stars, they have launched a new initiative in which arm prosthesis wearers are using the hashtag #NeverStopReaching to share their personal experiences on social media and take their community with them on the journey.
