🎥 Exclusive YouTube video with Tatjana: A new chapter after 35 years of restrictions
Tatjana is 37 years old and has lived with plexus palsy in her left arm since birth. Due to the birth trauma, her hand is virtually non-functional: gripping is impossible, mobility is severely restricted and the feeling in her fingertips is significantly reduced. Everyday life was a challenge for her for decades – until she started using the exomotion® hand one in December 2022.
Today, over a year later, Tatyana’s life has changed noticeably:
She can operate with both hands again – holding bottles, turning pepper mills, carrying pots.
Tasks that used to be laborious or even impossible, she now performs with ease.
And her personal highlight? “I was able to pinch my boyfriend’s ear.”
In our new YouTube video, Tatjana gives an open, emotional and inspiring insight into her everyday life with the orthosis.
