Rockstar with 'bionic' arm

I happened across this in my idle googling - even rockstars use the SAEBO Flex. Dorian Cox, guitarist of the Long Blondes, who I have to admit, I've never heard of (but then their music isn't my kind of thing) suffered a stroke in June last year. He has apparently subsequently been using the SAEBO Flex, dubbed 'bionic arm' by fans and the media, to regain function in his hand. Perhaps this will give stroke therapy some sort of rockstar status and give some publicity to the devices. He's lucky that he has access to this form of therapy so soon after his stroke, I wish something like this had been offered to me earlier in my rehab.
