Rebekah Marine — Arm Dynamics

Опубликовано: 24 авг. 2016 г.Check out this stylish video featuring Rebekah Marine, a fashion model who wears an advanced prosthetic arm on the runway. Rebekah was born with an upper limb difference and her early experiences with a prosthesis were disappointing. After many years of successfully navigating life with one hand, something exciting happened: She decided to try an advanced multiarticulating hand. Rebekah consulted with Arm Dynamics' Northeast Center of Excellence in Philadelphia and was fitted with an i-limb quantum hand. She worked with Chris Bollinger, upper limb prosthetic therapy specialist, on integrating the prosthesis into her daily life at home and on the job. Prosthetist Brian Waryck, CP, Clinical Manager, guided her clinical care and is featured in this video. Rebekah was thrilled to be one of the first to wear the small i-limb quantum, sized specifically for people of petite stature. Her prosthesis has been an integral part of an exciting new chapter in her life as a “ Bionic Model”. Rebekah has modeled in New York Fashion Week in 2015 and 2016, appeared in the 2015 Nordstrom catalog, and been featured in an ad campaign for Frameri eyewear. She is also an inspirational speaker and an ambassador for the Lucky Fins Project, a nonprofit organization that supports those with upper limb differences. We can’t wait to see what’s next for this ambitious young woman!
