A recent Study Finds article discussed a new prosthetic that could make manual tasks a bit easier. The Third Thumb is a 3D-printed finger that is strapped to the hand on the opposite side of the thumb near the pinky.

The sensors are wirelessly connected to the prosthetic thumb, and control it with different foot movements.
