UD grad pioneers bionic arm technology
While a senior at the University of Delaware, Aidan Bradley lost his right leg and arm in a tragic accident. The UD Physical Therapy Clinic helped Aidan work on leg and back issues, and he was outfitted with his prosthetic leg from Independence Prosthetics-Orthotics on UD’s STAR Campus. Now, Independence PO President John Horne is helping Aidan get outfitted with a bionic arm that uses advanced pattern recognition technology developed by the Chicago-based company, Coapt. Joe Costello, another patient at Independence, was outfitted with the bionic arm earlier this year following a motorcycle crash in May of 2021. They’re believed to be among the first in Delaware to utilize this new technology.
