97 ways to say “very good”.



Touch Bionics announced what it calls the world’s first commercially available bionic hand, a prosthetic hand that moves more naturally than traditional prostheses and can hold awkward or delicate objects. While most prostheses today can open and close, allowing people to grasp some items, they lack the detailed movements of a natural hand. The i-Limb Hand gets one step closer to that natural movement, with motors in each finger that make it possible to move individual fingers and form several different grips.

  1. Aren’t you proud of yourself?
  2. Congratulations!
  3. Congratulations. You got it right!
  4. Couldn’t have done it better myself.
  5. Exactly right.
  6. Excellent! That’s the best ever.
  7. Fantastic!
  8. Fine!
  9. Good for you!
  10. Good going.
  11. Good job, (person’s name).
  12. Good remembering.
  13. Good thinking.
  14. Good work!
  15. Great!
  16. I knew you could do it.
  17. I like that.
  18. The Edinburgh, Scotland-based company also announced partial hand prostheses, called ProDigits. ProDigits can replace individual fingers or parts of a hand. 26-year-old Lindsay Block was born without a left hand and has used a prosthetic limb since she was six months old. Here, she cuts an apple with the help of her Touch Bionics i-Limb Hand.

  19. I think you’re doing the right thing.
  20. I think you’ve got it now.
  21. I’m happy to see you working like that.
  22. I’m proud of the way you worked today.
  23. I’m very proud of you.
  24. For most amputee patients, the brain still thinks the hand is there, according to Touch Bionics CEO Stuart Mead, so they are capable of moving a hand–if only there were a hand to move. And the muscles that would normally move the hand still behave in the same way as if the hand were there, he said. The i-Limb works by detecting electrical signals triggered by the contraction of the same muscles used to control any normal hand. Those signals are picked up by electrodes on the surface of the skin and trigger movement in the hand or fingers.

  25. I’ve never seen anyone do it better.
  26. It’s such a pleasure to teach when you work like that!
  27. Keep it up!
  28. Keep on trying.
  29. Keep up the good work.
  30. Keep working on it. You’re improving.
  31. Marvelous!
  32. Much better!
  33. Nice going.
  34. Nice going.
  35. Not bad.
  36. Nothing can stop you now.
  37. Now that’s what I call a fine job.
  38. Now you have it!
  39. Now you have the hang of it.
  40. Now you’ve figured it out.
  41. One more time and you’ll have it.
  42. This same system, called myoelectric control, is used in many other prostheses. So people who have used other myoelectric prosthetic hands are able to learn to use an i-Limb Hand quickly. Jose Ramos, a 27-year-old student and former Navy Corpsman, lost his left hand in Iraq. Shown here with his i-Limb Hand, Ramos mimics a clinician giving him the thumbs-up.

  43. Outstanding!
  44. Perfect!
  45. Right on!
  46. Sensational!
  47. Super!
  48. Superb!
  49. Terrific!
  50. That kind of work makes me happy.
  51. That was first class work.
  52. That’s a good (boy/girl).
  53. That’s better than ever.
  54. That’s better.
  55. That’s coming along nicely.
  56. That’s good.
  57. That’s great.
  58. That’s how to handle that.
  59. An i-Limb Hand holds a coin. The i-Limb can form different types of grip: a power grip, which looks like a fist; a key grip, where the thumb meets with the middle of the index finger, as when turning a key to turn on a car; and a pincer grip, where the thumb and fingertips meet together to hold a small object, as is shown here.

  60. That’s it!
  61. That’s much, much better!
  62. That’s not half bad.
  63. That’s quite an improvement.
  64. That’s really nice.
  65. The i-Limb Hand can also perform what’s called an index point, where the thumb meets the last three fingers while the index finger remains outstretched, which can be used to use a phone keypad or type on a keyboard hunt-and-peck style.

  66. That’s right!
  67. That’s the best you’ve ever done.
  68. That’s the right way to do it.
  69. That’s the way to do it.
  70. Touch Bionics patient John German uses his i-Limb Hand to peel a banana. A benefit of the i-Limb Hand is that it allows people to grasp objects with an appropriate level of sensitivity, depending on what they’re picking up. It can use a firmer grip for heavy or solid objects, and a lighter grip for delicate objects, such as a Styrofoam cup. The i-Limb can detect when each finger has a sufficient grip on the object and signals them to stop powering. The fingers then stay in a locked position until the patient triggers them to open by flexing a muscle. The i-Limb is powered by a battery that can last for about a day and be charged overnight.

  71. That’s the way!
  72. Tremendous!
  73. Way to go!
  74. Well look at you go.
  75. Wonderful!
  76. Wow!
  77. You are learning fast.
  78. You are really learning a lot.
  79. You are very good at that.
  80. You certainly did well today.
  81. You did a lot of work today.
  82. You did it that time!
  83. You did that very well.
  84. You figured that out fast.
  85. You haven’t missed a thing!
  86. You must have been practicing.
  87. You outdid yourself today!
  88. You really make my job fun.
  89. You remembered!
  90. Block compares her natural, right hand to her i-Limb, left hand. Stuart Mead, CEO of Touch Bionics, said they see two types of patients: those who want their prosthetic hand to look as normal as possible and those who want it to look like it came out of the movie Terminator. For those who prefer a natural-looking hand, Touch Bionics worked with ARTech Laboratories and LivingSkin to create the skin shown here. For those with robotic inclinations, the company makes a semi-transparent skin that accentuates the hand’s artificial nature.

  91. You’re doing a good job.
  92. You’re doing beautifully!
  93. You’re doing fine!
  94. You’re doing that much better today.
  95. You’re getting better every day.

  97. You’re really going to town.
  98. You’re really improving.
  99. You’re really working hard today.
  100. The i-Limb Hand isn’t cheap. It runs for about $18,000, two to three times more than a traditional myoelectric device. They are available now in some clinics around the U.S. and U.K.

  101. You’ve got it made.
  102. You’ve got that down pat.
  103. You’ve got your brain in gear today.
  104. One of the benefits i-Limb wearers see is the ability to grip objects firmly. Here, Juan Arredondo, a 27-year-old retired Army sergeant who lost his left hand in Iraq three years ago, holds a briefcase with his i-Limb Hand… [read more]

  105. You’ve just about got it.
  106. You’ve just about mastered it.
