After U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. James Sides lost his hand while serving in Afghanistan, he was desperate to get back to his old way of life. Despite the fact that he had mastered the use of his prosthetic, Sides was frustrated by his inability to fluidly do simple things like pick up a water bottle or get money from the ATM.

“I always felt I was holding up the line,” Sides told FoxNews.com. “I’d have to move my thumb, grab groceries, move the thumb back, then close my hand.”
