Now, 12 years later, Schroeder wears a bionic hand designed by the startup Aether Biomedical, and it's business as usual for him. Aether's hand, called the Zeus, can lift up to 77 pounds and switch between 12 different customizable grip patterns in real time. Aether works with upper limb amputees, and anyone with an amputation level between the wrist and the shoulder can use its Zeus hand. More than 200 patients are using Aether's Zeus hand, and like other bionic hands, it works by translating the electrical signals in the arm muscles. Aether's Zeus hand is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and it's covered by all major insurance payers.
