Original Toronto Star caption: Armed and ready: Amputee Larry Paterson checks out his new artificial arm - and prosthetist Bill Burt's arm-wrestling abilities - at Sunnybrook Hospital yesterday. Looking on are representatives of the Utah firm that developed the micro-electronic arm; which has taken ten years to develop and could change the lives of amputees with its ability to perform like a real limb.
