Pakistani student develops prosthetic arm

A Pakistani student has built artificial arm, which is cheaper and more durable than the ones available in the market.

Abdullah Khawaja, a 17-year-old student based in Jordan, said in an interview that he used to visit different refugee camps in Jordan with his father, where he saw different people without hands, so he thought of building artificial arm.

According to Abdullah Khawaja, when he found out its price from the market, it was high, so he decided to make the prosthetic arm using 3D designing.

He added that his manufactured arm is of high quality and durable compared to the ones available in the market. It is controlled by arm muscles and is capable of lifting up to three kilograms, he added.
