We are please to announce the release of Version 2 of El Medallo. The world's first low cost fully documented open source 3d printed Robotic arm with EMG Senso...rs. We have taken the user feedback from version 1 and made it lighter, easier to wear under clothing (more ergonmic) and increased the battery life. Know someone who needs a new arm? We donate them to any one in need with no costs at all for the end user!

Carmen and her mum have travelled all the way form Panamá to work with and learn from us. After several weeks of training, printing and assembling they returne...d home with 2 new devices to help some fellow panamanians. They have done a fantástic job. Know anyone else who would like to work, train or volunteer with us?

Hi everyone. This post is about improving access to Occupational Therapy for children with upper limb differences. Dr. Fain is offering her services as a licens...ed Occupational Therapist with the goal of helping your children develop the strength and coordination needed to better achieve both play (like sports, playground activities) and functional tasks (such as the use of the a prosthetic hand). The meetings will be through "Telehealth" - meetings across electronic devices (phone, tablet or computer) - which means that we can meet with you no matter where you live. We will do our best to make these fun for the kids - exercise in disguise. Please reach out to me directly (JeffPowell101@gmail.com) if you are interested. More information below: --------------------------------- I'm working with Dr. Elizabeth Fain, hoping to provide some occupational therapy support for the children of ENABLE, so they may get more use out of their unique limb and prosthetic device. We would work through virtual sessions - in real time, but through electronic devices (likely using Google Hangout). This may help you to fit the meeting in your schedule, in the comfort of your home, and help us to reach people despite the physical distance that separates us. What we are proposing a minimum of 3 sessions: 1) a short session between you, the parent, Dr. Fain and myself. We will set expectations, learn what your goals are for your child, and get the information we need to best reach them. 2) a session with your child included. Dr. Fain will work with you to go over at-home exercises that will help your child reach his OT goals. We will give you an exercise schedule, go over tips and ways to track your child's activity. 3) an additional session with your child included, after some length of time (1-2 months), where we may asses how the exercises are going and make modifications to the plan if needed. There are a few additional possibilities: 1) We would love to have more meetings than we described - that will be up to you to decide - we just wanted to propose the minimum so you do not have to feel like you are making a huge commitment. 2) Our goal is to make a poster that features a fun picture of your child surrounded by visual representations of his exercises. This has been shown to work well with children as a daily reminder of their exercises, hidden within a fun poster. We would need you to provide the picture and we'd hope to get you the poster before the child's first meeting. 3) In the future, we may ask for an OT student observer to join. If you are not comfortable with the extra observer, that is ok and will not affect us meeting with you. Please let me know if you are interested or have any questions!

Did you know that we have a seasonal Newsletter?! If you didn't, you do now! http://enableoutreach.bmeurl.co/9BB1DA2 It features the latest e-NABLE news, stori...es, and resources from all over the world! If you are not on the email list but interested in receiving our seasonal updates, please contact newsletter@e-nable.org! #enablethefuture #3dprinting

From it's beginning the e-NABLE volunteer community has benefited from design contributions by amputees and people with various limb differences or members of t...heir families. These folks have an advantage over most of us designers in that they can evaluate and iterate the design to make it better and better. As an exceptional designer who lost an arm a few years ago, Nate Munro has taken this to a new level!

We were recently invited back to Netherlee Primary School to talk to the students about what we do. We presented to 90 pupils on Biomedical Engineering and the wonders of Handprints e-NABLE Scotland

Over the past 8 years, the e-NABLE Community has been working hard to create free 3D printed hands and arms for those in need. Many of our lead designers are e...ither a parent of limb different child or amputees themselves who have an inside perspective on how to design devices that are the most helpful, comfortable and beneficial to their needs. Today, we invite you to read about our incredible volunteer and designer Nate Munro who is himself an amputee after losing his arm to an aggressive cancer and has has devoted months to the creation of a new set of designs that will help us be able to help even more people around the world. Thank you Nate and the entire NIOP team for pouring your hearts and souls into this project! Please go read Nate's story on our blog and see the incredible arm designs that he and other volunteers have been developing and will be continuing to fine tune in the months ahead! <3 http://enablingthefuture.org/2020/02/05/nate-munro/ #enablethefuture #reallifesuperheroes #tech4good

Mana demonstrates the improved Kwawu latch we published on Friday

#TalenteoAwards 🌟 Projet Zellipark - Fouzia et e-Nable France étaient à l'honneur, et en direct, aujourd'hui sur RCF Radio dans le cadre de la 3ème émission des... TalenTH pour présenter leurs initiatives ! ✅ Lauréat du prix graphique, le projet Zellipark c’est l’envie de redonner de la visibilité aux places de stationnement pour personnes à mobilité réduite. ✅ Gagnant dans la catégorie #InRealLife, e-Nable fédère un réseau de makers qui utilisent l’impression 3D pour fabriquer des mains de super héros et les offrir à des enfants en ayant besoin. 📣 Restez connectés, nous vous présentons bientôt ces deux belles initiatives sur talenteo.fr !

The veterans of Sai Jai Thai helped us modify the Kwawu 2 latch and today we are publishing it for everyone to try.
