March 31, 2016 12:00 am | Updated 05:41 am IST - NEW DELHI:

Assistive technology experts at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre (ISIC) have created an innovative assistive device to help a Pakistan man regain some normalcy in his daily life years after a tragic accident back home forced doctors to amputate his arms.

Rano suffered a life-altering accident at his workplace five years ago in Pakistan. An employee at an electrical department, the 41-year-old suffered irreparable damage to his arms after electric shock from high-tension cables and had to undergo bilateral upper limb amputation. While his left arm was amputated from the shoulder, his right arm was amputated from just above the elbow.
