Figure skater Roman Kostomarov made the first drawing with a bionic prosthetic arm - he depicted a heart and wrote the word “mother,” writes WellNews.
A video of a figure skater drawing, who lost his hands due to complications of pneumonia, is posted on his page on the social network.
Roman Kostomarov was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of bacterial-viral pneumonia in January 2023. Complications of the disease led to gangrene of the limbs, so doctors had to amputate the skater’s feet and fingers on both hands. In total, he spent 157 days in the hospital.
Immediately after receiving the prostheses, Kostomarov began training, videos of which he posted on his page. The skater even went out on the ice, although so far only in sneakers.
