Reporter and this doctor of the militarys medical school says that the newer prosthetics use the sensors on the surface of the limb so they can only detect some of the remaining muscles, and that limits movements.

Many of the deeper mus are also t muscles are the muscles that you use to manipulate. Reporter and many of the sensor sensors are inside of his hand to help articulate the hand and rotate the hand and he can do all of them at once.

And with the older prosthetics, there is only a manual thumb so you will have to physically position it with the hand before you can grab something, and movements can only be done once at a time making simple everyday tasks much more tedious.
