Losing a limb is very difficult. But if people who were born with such a feature or who lost an arm or leg at a young age adapt more easily to new conditions, then the elderly have a hard time due to their age.





But this is not a problem if you need to live and take care of others. Pensioner from Germany Christa Siebert proved this with her own example and spoke about her experience to The Sun.



The woman has always led an active lifestyle. She was interested in needlework, planting flowers and loved riding a bicycle, accompanied by her dog Charlie. But an active lifestyle canceled out cancer. Due to developing oncology, Krista’s arm was amputated in January last year.

Doing simple everyday tasks has become a challenge for women. Even wash your face and cut off your bread. But everything changed when the British company Open Bionics provided the pensioner with a bionic prosthesis.





The Hero Arm is an advanced, intuitive, durable and lightweight prosthetic arm that delivers functionality with impressive aesthetics.

Within an hour of installation, Frau was able to enjoy hot chocolate, make a cheese sandwich and go for a walk with Charlie.



A woman from Würzburg, who became the oldest owner of a bionic prosthesis, said that not having to ask for help is an amazingly wonderful feeling.

Representatives of the company recommended Hero Arm for the reason that this model is light (only 340 grams), durable, comfortable, allows you to lift up to 8 kilograms and not only cope with everyday tasks without problems, but also get pleasure from it.



The elderly woman enjoys life, enjoys her independence and, despite her age, feels like a bit of a superhero.
