Norfolk girl youngest in England with bionic Hero Arm
By Charlotte BallBBC News, Norfolk
A seven-year-old girl is now the youngest in England to be fitted with a prosthetic Hero Arm.
Caitlin, from Wymondham in Norfolk, was born with, a condition which meant she had No Bones in the fingers of her Left Hand .
The Arm is created by a company who designs limbs for children that look like superheroes and other characters.
Delighted with her bionic arm Caitlin said it was " amazing" and described it as " really heavy, and really clever".
She added: " The teachers always Cut Up my food for me when I was in reception and now when I go back to school I can cut My Own food. "
Caitlin's mother Maria said things like using cutlery, brushing her own hair, and Looking Forward to holding her own tray at lunchtime have improved Her Daughter 's confidence.
" They're things we don't even think about, " Maria said. " You get so self-conscious and there's pressure on Young People but this puts her on A Level playing field with her friends.
" She loves it, it's just cool. It's not pretending to be an arm because it looks so different. "
The Family raised More Than £18,500 for The Arm , made by the Open Bionics Foundation, through a combination of fundraising and grants.
After giving themselves six months to raise The Money , they achieved their goal in just one.
" It was just amazing, especially The Way things are at The Moment financially, how many people wanted to donate, " Maria said.
Typically, the bionic arms are only available for over eight-year-olds.
But, when Maria contacted Open Bionics in December, they heard back in a few days. Caitlin was only six at The Time , making her the youngest to have ever been given a Hero Arm.
She was able to use it earlier than most as she already had a wrist joint that she was used to using and existing muscle control in the area.
Caitlin has been wearing The Arm for just over a week and said she still has to practice controlling The Hand .
" My Friends want to hold my hand and I accidentally squeeze them too hard, " She Said .
" I'm getting better at doing it properly. It is amazing. "
