Lauren Scruggs Kennedy nearly died when she was hit by a spinning plane propeller in December 2011. She suffered traumatic brain injury, and the loss of her left hand and her left eye. As she recovered, Lauren began using two activity-specific prostheses, one designed specifically for swimming, and the other for workouts and boxing. She also has two cosmetically finished prosthetic hands: a passive custom silicone restoration and a myoelectric hand with custom silicone restoration.
