0:00:18 > 0:00:22Anton is 11. He lost his right arm in a car accident.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26There's nothing I can't do.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30I can go on my bike, I can play football, I can run around.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33I like going fast.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Olivia is seven.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Her left arm ends at the elbow and her legs below the knee.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42These are my high-heel legs.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46They go down like a slide.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Both are getting the latest in high-tech designer limbs.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55But what difference will it make to their lives?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I'm looking forward to getting them
0:00:57 > 0:00:59because they'll just look like real feat.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I can pick stuff up and control it,
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and show it to people and they'll be amazed.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Anton lives near Manchester with his mum and his brother and sisters.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19I'm Anton.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23We're with Matvey and Anna and we're on the trampoline.
0:01:23 > 0:01:32He is my brother and the one who's a bit scared is my sister.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35You.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43I lost my arm in a car crash in 2007.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I was kind of trying to go to sleep and then I felt the car shake
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and then I got knocked out,
0:01:48 > 0:01:53and then I woke up on the floor with blood around me and my arm was gone.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59It was very bad and I think we are lucky to be alive, all of us,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01because the whole family was in the car.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05The biggest challenge for us was to accept the fact that
0:02:05 > 0:02:10he lost his arm and he won't have his arm back.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16Then we started getting used to the fact that there is no arm.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20I was right-handed before the accident
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and then I became left-handed,
0:02:22 > 0:02:26and it was pretty hard to learn how to draw.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28On my first day, I tried to draw Winnie the Pooh
0:02:28 > 0:02:32but it didn't look right, it looked like a hairball.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35And now I'm really good at drawing and over the years,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I've become a lot better.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45But it was harder to start writing
0:02:45 > 0:02:48because it felt like I had to flip the letters over.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52There's nothing I can't do.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I can go on my bike, I can play football,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59I can run around, I can go to the park and go with my friends.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Anton steers his bike by pushing and pulling with his left arm.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I'm just going up this speed bump, going to keep going.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17When I turn right, it's harder to turn right than left
0:03:17 > 0:03:21because I push on my left handlebar.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24When I turn left, it's easier, I don't need to lean.
0:03:24 > 0:03:30To get where I am now took about three months. I was really wobbly.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32I kept trying and then I could ride.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37His one-handed cycling is pretty impressive.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I wouldn't be able to do it that well for the first day
0:03:39 > 0:03:43but if I carried on trying and trying, I'd properly get there
0:03:43 > 0:03:47in the end but still wouldn't be as good as Anton is now.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Anton's taught himself to play computer games with one hand too.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55He gives his older brother Matvey a run for his money.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, I hold it like this and move both my joysticks,
0:03:58 > 0:04:03and this button here, that one, is to run.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I think I can go as fast as my brother can with two hands.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11He's always top on the list. He's still much better than me at it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- You won.- I know.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I don't want people to feel sorry for me
0:04:22 > 0:04:25because then they stop acting normal, start acting strange
0:04:25 > 0:04:30and then they keep asking if I need help when I don't really need help.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Doctors gave Anton fake arms called prosthetic arms,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36but he preferred not to wear them.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41When I first got my first arm, I didn't like it
0:04:41 > 0:04:47because it got in the way of stuff like running, writing and football.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I also stopped wearing it because it broke.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55This one doesn't look realistic, it looks like a fat person's hand,
0:04:55 > 0:04:56and this one looks realistic
0:04:56 > 0:05:00but it looks like a freaky girl's hand from a movie.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04All that's about to change as Anton is one of only a handful
0:05:04 > 0:05:07of children to get an advanced robotic arm
0:05:07 > 0:05:10called a myoelectric arm.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Soon I'm going to get a myoelectric arm and I'm going to...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16get excited about it because I can show it to my friends.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I can also pick stuff up and squish them and throw stuff around.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I can control it and show it to people,
0:05:23 > 0:05:24and they'll be amazed.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Olivia is seven. She lives in Cumbria with her mum.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44When I was two,
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I had meningitis.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53If I didn't get my legs and my arm chopped off,
0:05:53 > 0:05:58I would have died.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Since her operation, Olivia has had many pairs of fake legs.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08These are my high-heel legs.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14They're not straight, they go down like a slide.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Olivia was about to die at any moment
0:06:20 > 0:06:24and we were told that the amputations might save her life.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28We were elated by that, the fact that her life could be saved from that,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30so we wanted it to happen.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35We didn't know if she was going to be brain-damaged, or deaf, or blind.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39We just wanted our little daughter saved and would deal with the rest.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Olivia's got a good answer for people who ask what happened.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53A crocodile bit my legs off.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58She had to learn to walk all over again
0:06:58 > 0:07:01but to everyone's amazement, it didn't take very long.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06I actually didn't think she would ever walk in prosthetic legs
0:07:06 > 0:07:10and, literally, it was six weeks, two months later
0:07:10 > 0:07:13that she started walking on her legs. It was amazing.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Today there is little Olivia can't do.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22With her legs on she is as mobile as all her friends.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27We're starting horse riding in the summer and I don't know
0:07:27 > 0:07:31when we're going trampolining again.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Over the years, Olivia has had lots of legs and arms
0:07:34 > 0:07:37but she is not always happy about how they look.
0:07:37 > 0:07:44I don't really like the feet because they're yellow
0:07:44 > 0:07:47and they don't look real.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51We thought, "Well, she's entitled to have realistic looking skin.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- "Everyone else does, why shouldn't she?"- There is an alternative.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59A covering which looks and feels exactly like real human skin.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02It's expensive but thanks to a charity,
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Olivia has been given the money to get some made.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10I'm really excited about getting my new legs.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I think they're going to look more like my friends' legs
0:08:14 > 0:08:17because they've got the real skin on them.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Since his accident three years ago, Anton has learned to do a lot
0:08:26 > 0:08:30with just one arm but some things are still a problem,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32cycling uphill for instance.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I can for a bit and then I start to slow down and then eventually
0:08:36 > 0:08:37I start to go backwards,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39so I just get off and carry my bike over the hill.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48And artificial arms he's had in the past haven't helped.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50My first one didn't do anything.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54All it can do is just spin and then my second one was like a hand,
0:08:54 > 0:09:00but I had to push with my shoulder and that hurt, just to get it open.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03It didn't really do anything but get in the way.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09And so Anton's got high expectations for his new myoelectric arm.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16My robotic arm isn't finished yet but I know how it will work.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Every time I move a muscle,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24it sends a tiny electrical signal.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29When I'm move these two muscles in my stump,
0:09:29 > 0:09:33their electrical signals will be picked up by the sensors
0:09:33 > 0:09:35at the top of my robot arm.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37The sensors then send a message to the motor,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40which opens and closes the hand.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44If I move this muscle,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46the hand will open.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48If I move this muscle...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50it will close.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54So I'm in charge.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01In Cumbria, Olivia's off to hospital.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03She's taking the first step
0:10:03 > 0:10:06towards getting her more lifelike arm and legs.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Hiya.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11Give him wave.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Yeah. There's Neil.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Neil and his team have been making prosthetic limbs for Olivia
0:10:18 > 0:10:19since she was two.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24They always fit well, but Olivia thinks they look fake.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Almost like a shop dummy's.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31That's because the covering they put on here is very basic
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and the feet are a different colour.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37But this time, Neil and his team will send her limbs away
0:10:37 > 0:10:40to another clinic to have amazing lifelike skin put on.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45What's he going to do?
0:10:45 > 0:10:52He's going to get some powdery stuff out of the packet
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and put it in the water and it will go all gooey
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and he's going to put it all over my legs.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Today, Olivia is having a plaster cast made...
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- It's cold.- Is that cold?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- ..so Neil can make sure her new legs fit.- What does it feel like?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Er, gooey.- Does it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- Oh, that's it. - That's how we want it, isn't it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Next week, once Neil has made Olivia's new arm and legs,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24he will send them away to the specialist skin clinic in London
0:11:24 > 0:11:26so they can be made to look like real ones.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Your arm's all red, Neil.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- And white!- Red and white.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40In Manchester, Anton has also got an important appointment.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45We're going to PACE to have a look at my robotic arm.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46And then...
0:11:46 > 0:11:50And I'm going to get some hot chocolate.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02PACE is the special clinic that's making Anton's new arm.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05This is Toby.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09He helps me with the robotic arm that I'm going to get.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I think next week, it is, I'll get it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16We will need your T-shirt off your shoulder, I think.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Today, Toby, the engineer, will test the sensors which will
0:12:19 > 0:12:22eventually be fitted to the top of Anton's robotic arm.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- Is this the right way round, can you remember?- I think so.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29It's complicated. But Anton knows exactly what's going on.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34When I move my front muscle, that senses it
0:12:34 > 0:12:37and sends the signal through this wire and into the machine,
0:12:37 > 0:12:42so then if I move a muscle there, the red one goes up.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Then the back one goes through this wire. That's my back muscle.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51The stronger I move my muscles, the higher the signals go.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- Can you do the front one?- Yeah. - Excellent. Very good.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56And the back one?
0:12:56 > 0:13:01When Anton's arm is built, the wires will carry the electrical
0:13:01 > 0:13:07- signals to the motor that moves his robotic hand.- OK.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Toby is adjusting both sensors
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- so he can get a clear signal from each muscle.- Is that OK?- Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Let me turn this one slightly.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Anton had to pass tests to get to this stage.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Not everyone has enough muscle control to work a robotic arm.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24OK, that looks good.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29So one of those will open the hand and the other one will close it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32That's all there is to it today, I think.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Olivia's come to a clinic in London to see for herself
0:13:40 > 0:13:43the amazing skin which will eventually cover
0:13:43 > 0:13:44her new arm and legs.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- Yes!- How are you, Olivia? It is nice to see you. My name is Abdo.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- Can you say "Abdo"? Come on.- Say it, then?- Come on!
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Abdo specialises in making silicone skin that looks
0:13:58 > 0:14:00and feels incredibly realistic.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06He will make a kind of boot like this one,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09which will pull on over Olivia's fake leg.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14It's got spots, or something. Look at the little nail.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Is that supposed to be a freckle?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Don't want freckles.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Ah, it feels weird!
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- That is big.- Yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Ohh! It looks like a man's one.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It IS a man's one.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Look, it's got a vein sticking out there.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Ahh, feel the hairs.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- So you don't want hairy legs?- No.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59This is for somebody else, it's not your one.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Your one is made to your colour.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05And you can choose what shaped toes you want.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08You can choose to have them long, if you want the nails square,
0:15:08 > 0:15:09if you want the nails round.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12If you want a big toe bigger than the second toe.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14If you want the second toe bigger than the big toe.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16You can choose what you like.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Olivia has never liked her yellow-looking feet.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22So now she'll be able to have handmade toes
0:15:22 > 0:15:24with gaps between them.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Probably most likely, Olivia would want a split toe.- Definitely, yes.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29So it will look much nicer.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32The nice thing is they can be washed and cleaned like a normal foot.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35The don't stain if even ink comes on them and so on.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37And they are very durable.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Olivia wants Abdo to paint a little picture on one of her legs.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46- A dolphin.- Yeah, where would you like a dolphin. Somewhere up here?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Next, Abdo takes a cast of Olivia's right hand...
0:15:50 > 0:15:55- Do you think it will be cold or warm?- Cold.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- ..so he can make her a realistic left hand.- And up. Very good.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03And it captures all the little details.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Smells nice, no? Doesn't it?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13We are going to start with the hand.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Abdo uses a special camera to record Olivia's skin colours.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19That's because each part of her body is a slightly different shade.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24Because this hand doesn't get much sun, and the top of the thigh too.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27The cast of Olivia's right hand shows every tiny
0:16:27 > 0:16:29detail of the lines in her palms,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32the creases on her knuckles and the shape of her nails.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- Adding all this detail takes time. - Ohh!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Around two days for each limb.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48It will be a least a month before Abdo and his team can put
0:16:48 > 0:16:52the finishing touches to Olivia's new arm and legs.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Thanks.- You are welcome.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Ah, you are strong, aren't you?
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Right, nice meeting you. Take care. Thank you.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07In Manchester, it is a week since Anton tested out the sensors
0:17:07 > 0:17:09for his new robotic arm.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Yeah, I make my hot chocolate every time I come in.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Toby's got some good news.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Anton's robotic arm is charged up and ready
0:17:20 > 0:17:22and he's going to put it through its paces.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Are you looking forward to trying it out?
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Um...yeah.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34The myoelectric arm works by picking up the electrical
0:17:34 > 0:17:37signals which naturally occur whenever we move a muscle.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42When Anton moves these two muscles,
0:17:42 > 0:17:46the signals should be picked up by sensors at the top of his new arm.
0:17:47 > 0:17:52Before his accident, these muscles moved Anton's shoulder,
0:17:52 > 0:17:53elbow and upper arm.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Now their messages will be sent to the motor which opens
0:17:58 > 0:18:00and closes his hand.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06That's the theory. But will it work in practice?
0:18:08 > 0:18:09That's fine.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Anton is having to retrain the muscles at the top of his arm
0:18:15 > 0:18:16to control his electronic hand.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's pretty amazing!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23How does that seem?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30But it will take lots of patience and lots of practice.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Eventually, as Anton grows, he will have an arm big enough to fit
0:18:39 > 0:18:41extra motors for the elbow and wrist.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48How does that seem?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Stiff. Good.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- OK?- Yep.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55If you stand up for me...
0:18:56 > 0:18:59The last time Anton picked something up with his right hand,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02it was his own real hand, not a robotic one.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The task is open that, pour it in there
0:19:09 > 0:19:12and then hold on to the mug whilst you're stirring it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17We don't mind some spilling.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21If he passes this test,
0:19:21 > 0:19:23his robotic arm will get some finishing touches
0:19:23 > 0:19:25to make it look more realistic.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Use it to stabilise items
0:19:29 > 0:19:33and support items that you're doing something with with your left hand.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41So that's basically how you can use it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Anton has passed the test and with flying colours.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I was surprised when I saw him picking this up
0:19:50 > 0:19:54and he was very confident. He wasn't scared.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57He's always confident - maybe that's why!
0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's fun. And it's helpful.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05In London,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Abdo's team are close to finishing Olivia's lifelike arm and legs.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14They have stretched the skin onto her new false limbs
0:20:14 > 0:20:19and while the silicon is still soft, they add all the details.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22The technician cuts a piece out of each toe,
0:20:22 > 0:20:26so the handmade nails can get a realistic fit.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Now just sits on like that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33The veins and freckles will be painted on
0:20:33 > 0:20:35once the silicon is completely dry.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Put the last one in now.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45All the detailing is done by hand.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48All the creases done with little tools.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51There's more detail on the hand, as you can see on the palm.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57Much more creases and more veins up in the wrist.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Little white tips you can put on, little half moons.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It will have taken a total of seven days
0:21:03 > 0:21:07to make Olivia's three limbs look realistic.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Back home in Cumbria, Olivia can't wait.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I'm looking forward to getting them
0:21:18 > 0:21:23because when I do they'll just look like real feet.
0:21:23 > 0:21:31And people won't really recognise that they're fake.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36And then they'll probably say to me, "They've grown back."
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Anton's wait is over. His robotic arm is finished.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56This is my first time ever at home with my electric arm.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Since he last saw it,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01the orange prongs have been covered with a plastic glove.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Now, can I go pick something up?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Try maybe this.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14TV switch.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22This is not a simple task. Anton is having to retrain his muscles...
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Pass me the switch.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27..to do things they've never done before.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Thank you.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Sometimes I can struggle to build, because I really love building.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41It could help me eat or cook because I could hold a bowl still
0:22:41 > 0:22:45and then I could mix it with my left hand.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50No, it's too slippery.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Anton's not been able to open a bottle
0:22:52 > 0:22:54since his accident three years ago.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58His mum usually has to step in.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01There.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Ta-da! - I opened a bottle.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04That's nice, thank you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07A big achievement
0:23:07 > 0:23:10but there's a bit more work needed on the letting go muscle.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Give it to me.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18And there's one more thing to have a go at.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21At first, he'll see how he does on the driveway.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I'm going to sit down and then I'm going to open it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Then I'm going to put that on, then I'm going to close it,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35then I'm going to turn it off so it doesn't open.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37BEEP
0:23:37 > 0:23:41I want to be able to pick up my handlebars on my bike
0:23:41 > 0:23:42when I'm riding it.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47My friends can do that but I can't. I think this might be able to help me.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49So far, so good.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Balancing with his new robotic arm is a great start.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56I get a little bit frustrated when I expect something to work,
0:23:56 > 0:23:58then I keep trying different stuff
0:23:58 > 0:24:01and on and on and it just doesn't work.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Ow, that's hurting.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Having to rethink everything about the way you do things
0:24:08 > 0:24:11is a massive challenge but Anton isn't going to give up.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16It's harder to use than I thought it would be.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I can throw stuff.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30In Cumbria, Olivia's got her new
0:24:30 > 0:24:33realistic-looking arm and legs at last
0:24:33 > 0:24:35and her friend Gemma is filming it all.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- Who's this then?- Gemma.- Hello.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42SHE GIGGLES
0:24:42 > 0:24:47- Has that got the dolphin on? - Yeah.- Have a look.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51I've never seen anybody else with a dolphin on their leg before,
0:24:51 > 0:24:53like, in that place.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57It's the details with all the stuff on her legs.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59They're amazing.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Do a twirl, come on.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04I think they're real feet.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I don't know whose is whose, which is which.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- I'm getting confused. - That's mine, that's yours. No!
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- Look at the difference between those feet.- I've got bigger feet.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16I know,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19and you can actually paint those and take them off whenever you like.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's a good thing.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- You don't get veins either. - You don't get anything.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- You don't get long nails. - You don't get the lines, do you?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32They haven't got lines. They have. They haven't got lines there.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35They have. That's the difference.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Put your arms out.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41No, like, down a bit so we can see which is real, which isn't.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45I think that one's real and that ain't.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51I'm really pleased with them and she's excited too.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54She thinks they look really real and that makes her happy.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57The skin matches her skin as well, the colour, so, yeah,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59really pleased with them.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03They just look like the legs Olivia would've had
0:26:03 > 0:26:07if they hadn't been amputated when she was two and a half.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11At Brownies last night, somebody thought my legs were real.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Anton's not quite ready to get back on his bike
0:26:21 > 0:26:23but for the past five weeks,
0:26:23 > 0:26:27he's been practising doing other things with his robotic arm.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30At the start I found it a bit heavy and uncomfortable,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33but I'm starting to get used to it
0:26:33 > 0:26:36because I wear it more often and practise with it.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40He's been getting help from Kaye. She works with Toby at the clinic.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Have you been managing to do zips before?- Yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45You've found your own kind of way of doing it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47A new zip as well, you see.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Oh, well done!
0:26:50 > 0:26:55She said I've done well with the blocks and Lego pieces.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I found the Lego pieces a bit tricky
0:26:58 > 0:27:00but the blocks are really fun and easy.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Don't be afraid to pass it to your left hand.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09- SHE LAUGHS - Did you try to throw it in then?
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Anton is still working out
0:27:13 > 0:27:16how to make the best use of his robotic arm.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20It doesn't help me for some stuff and for other stuff it helps me.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24But with or without it,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27he's determined that nothing will get in the way
0:27:27 > 0:27:30of having fun with his mates.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- If you can do it, I can do it. - Nobody ever asks questions
0:27:33 > 0:27:36and he just fits in and we just treat him normal.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37Hold on tight.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39He pushes himself a lot.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41That's easy. That was mint.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46I was really afraid of my future but now I'm really happy about it
0:27:46 > 0:27:49because I know that I can do anything I want.
