Prosthetic Myoelectric Hand

A Prosthetic Myoelectric Hand uses electrical signals generated by muscles
(myoelectric signals) in the residual limb to control movement. These devices
aim to restore functionality and improve the quality of life for individuals
with upper limb loss or congenital limb differences.

Functions
Actions of fingers are controlled by myoelectricity
Wrist joint can rotate passively and self-lock at any position.
Suitable for middle and short stumps of arm.

Key Features
Myoelectric Control: Electrodes placed on the skin detect muscle activity when
the user contracts specific muscles.
Multiple Grip Patterns: Modern models offer various grip types (pinch, tripod,
power grip, etc.) for different tasks.
Individual Finger Movement: Some advanced hands allow independent finger
control for more natural and precise movements.
Rechargeable Batteries: Most are powered by compact lithium-ion batteries.
Custom Fit: Typically integrated into a socket that's molded to fit the user's
limb.
