Understanding Brachial Plexus Injuries
The brachial plexus is a complex network of nerves originating from the spinal cord in the neck, extending through the shoulder, and branching into the arm and hand. These nerves control muscle movements and sensations in these areas. Injuries to the brachial plexus can occur due to various reasons, including trauma from accidents, sports injuries, or complications during birth. The severity of the injury can range from mild stretching of the nerves to complete tears, leading to partial or total loss of function in the affected limb.
Symptoms of a brachial plexus injury may include numbness, weakness, or paralysis of the arm, lack of muscle control, and loss of sensation. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal recovery. Treatment options vary based on the severity of the injury and may involve physical therapy, surgical interventions, and the use of prosthetic devices to restore function and improve the individual’s quality of life.
At Robobionics, we understand the challenges faced by individuals with brachial plexus injuries. Our team is dedicated to developing prosthetic solutions that cater to the unique needs of each individual, helping them regain independence and confidence.

Meena’s Comeback to Confidence
Meena, a 26-year-old teacher from Jaipur, never imagined that a simple scooter ride to the market would change her life forever. She was hit by a car, and the impact severely damaged the nerves in her right arm. After several weeks in the hospital, the doctors diagnosed her with a brachial plexus injury. Her arm became weak, and she couldn’t hold or lift anything. Being right-handed, this injury didn’t just take away her physical ability — it affected her confidence, independence, and daily routine.
After exploring multiple treatment options, including surgery and physiotherapy, Meena was introduced to the Grippy™ bionic hand by Robobionics through Omnify Prosthetics. Her rehabilitation started with a demo of the prosthetic, followed by a trial period where she got to understand how it could fit into her life. The lightweight and intuitive design of Grippy™ made her feel comfortable almost instantly. The team worked closely with her through home-based gamified rehab exercises, helping her build control and strength over time.
Today, Meena is back in the classroom, holding chalk with her bionic hand and writing on the blackboard. Her students admire her strength, and she now speaks openly about her journey. She often says that Grippy™ didn’t just help her move her hand — it gave her back her voice.

Raghav’s Return to Farming Life
Raghav, a 38-year-old farmer from a village near Nashik, suffered a traumatic accident involving agricultural machinery. His left arm was caught in the gears, causing severe nerve damage from the shoulder down. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors informed him that the chances of natural recovery were very low due to the extent of his brachial plexus injury. For someone whose life and livelihood depended on physical labor, it felt like the end of everything he had built.
His family didn’t give up. They found Robobionics through a government-organized medical camp in Maharashtra. Raghav was evaluated by one of our authorized partner clinics, and soon after, he was fitted with a prosthetic arm suited for agricultural activities. What made the biggest difference was the customization of the hand to match the strength and flexibility required for handling tools, lifting buckets, and driving a tractor. The device’s rugged and ergonomic design helped him re-adapt to his daily routine.
Now, Raghav is back on the field. He tills the land, waters the crops, and manages his farm with pride. He has also become an advocate for rural access to affordable prosthetics. His story is a reminder that location and income should never limit someone’s recovery. At Robobionics, we make sure our prosthetics are affordable, accessible, and made in India. Reach out to us to know how our rural outreach programs might help someone in your community.
Aarav’s Artistic Revival
Aarav, a 17-year-old student from Delhi, was a budding artist known for his beautiful pencil sketches. After a bike accident on his way home from school, his dominant hand was left paralyzed due to a brachial plexus injury. For months, he struggled with the loss of not only his physical ability but also the emotional trauma of losing his way of expressing himself. Drawing was more than just a hobby — it was his identity.
His parents connected with Robobionics through our online portal and soon scheduled a free virtual consultation. Aarav received his first demo of the Grippy™ bionic hand at our partner clinic in Delhi. What made Grippy™ unique for him was its fine motor control. Our team worked with him to tweak the sensitivity so he could hold a pencil and gradually build up to shading and sketching again. The gamified rehab tasks included sketching simple patterns, which brought back joy and motivation to practice daily.
Today, Aarav has completed a gallery show featuring art made entirely with his bionic hand. His story is now used in awareness sessions we conduct in schools and colleges. If you’re wondering whether prosthetics can help you get back to what you love — whether it’s writing, painting, or simply holding a cup of tea — contact Robobionics today and we’ll walk you through your options, step by step.
Leela’s First Steps Toward Independence
Leela, a 45-year-old single mother in Bengaluru, faced a brachial plexus injury after a fall from a stairway in her home. Without immediate access to specialized care, her condition worsened over time. She lost control of her right arm and was unable to continue her job as a seamstress. The injury not only affected her body but also her ability to support her two children.
Months later, she learned about Robobionics from a social media post about our CSR-driven initiatives. She reached out and was enrolled in our rehabilitation support program. Our team ensured that she received a custom-fit Grippy™ hand with easy-to-use control settings. We provided her with online training through our home-based rehab platform. The games and interactive challenges helped her build coordination without needing to leave her home or pay for frequent clinic visits.
Within three months, Leela started stitching again — slower than before, but with more hope than ever. Today, she runs a small tailoring shop from her home and even employs another woman with a limb difference. Stories like Leela’s show how prosthetic support can go beyond mobility — it can restore livelihoods. Talk to us about our CSR partnerships or how we can bring solutions to under-supported communities.
Sohail’s Return to the Ring
Sohail was a 21-year-old amateur boxer from Hyderabad with big dreams. An unfortunate bike crash resulted in nerve avulsion in his right shoulder, ending his career as an athlete overnight. The brachial plexus injury was severe and irreparable, and the feeling of helplessness was overwhelming. For someone who built his identity around strength and movement, this sudden shift in reality was heartbreaking.
He spent nearly a year in rehabilitation, but without significant improvement, he started looking into prosthetic options. His coach introduced him to Robobionics, where he met with a certified prosthetist through our partner clinic. Sohail was fitted with Grippy™ and started working on regaining basic function — not for boxing, but for daily independence. His rehab program included simulated training, lifting lightweight objects, and learning adaptive grips through our mobile-based gamified system.
Though Sohail never returned to the ring, he found a new purpose. He now coaches young athletes and works as a motivational speaker in community centers, helping others recover from sports injuries. His Grippy™ hand is a badge of strength, not a sign of loss. Ready to rewrite your story like Sohail did? Book your personalized Grippy™ demo now and take your first step towards a new beginning.
Komal’s Story: From Isolation to Empowerment
Komal, a 30-year-old graphic designer, felt her life come to a standstill after a bus accident in Pune. Her dominant arm was left completely non-functional due to a brachial plexus injury. With a desk job that required her to work on computers and design software, she feared losing her job. The physical pain was hard, but the emotional weight of isolation was heavier.
Through Robobionics’ awareness webinars, she learned about the potential of advanced upper limb prosthetics. After a consultation and trial period, she received her Grippy™ bionic hand and underwent remote rehab sessions with our experts. Slowly, she learned to use her bionic hand for typing, using a mouse, and navigating her daily routine at work. The sense of control and productivity brought her back to a sense of purpose.
Today, Komal works full-time again and speaks on mental health and disability inclusion. She helps others with limb differences adapt to technology and return to the workplace. Her journey shows that technology, when made human and accessible, can change lives in ways medicine alone cannot. If you’re looking for a way back to work, Robobionics is here to help you make that happen.
