Make life a little bit easier : Stratford Academy students make prosthetic hands for people in need

MACON, Ga. Stratford Academy students in Macon are learning how to make prosthetics to help people in need.
Senior Ishan Viradia and his teammates Walker Bethune, Om Patel, and Jack Minette created a sensory glove to help Tyrone Thomas. Thomas has severe nerve damage in his hand. Main tasks that he has trouble with are things where he accidentally cuts himself, crushes his hand, or burns his hand because he has neuropathy, which basically means he has trouble feeling things, said Viradia. So we made a glove that senses temperature and pressure for him, and shows him a little red light when his hand is in danger so he knows to move it.
