When amputee Bryden Zaloum gets a new bionic hand he hopes it means he can finally shake someone's hand without the embarrassment of presenting a claw.
Twenty six years ago, the 54-year-old lost his right hand in a motor racing accident. Since then, he has been coping with a claw as a replacement for his fingers.
"But the disadvantage is obvious, you don't have the fingers to do things with."
Over 26 years, Mr Zaloum has compensated by overusing his left arm, "and now it's buggered."
"My body is almost wrecked.''
He can also still feel his missing hand, and the phantom pains are almost overwhelming.
However, his mate, Mat Jury is creating a new bionic hand that should fix those problems.
