Results for tag: "Upper Limb Prosthetics"

Upper Limb Prosthetics are orthopedic devices used to replace or supplement the function of a missing or impaired upper limb. These prosthetics are designed to restore the user's ability to perform activities of daily living, such as dressing, eating, and writing. They can also be used to improve the user's mobility and independence. Upper Limb Prosthetics are typically custom-made to fit the user's body and lifestyle. They are typically made from lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, titanium, and aluminum. Upper Limb Prosthetics are available in a variety of styles, including myoelectric, body-powered, and hybrid prosthetics. Myoelectric prosthetics use electrical signals from the user's muscles to control the prosthetic. Body-powered prosthetics use cables and harnesses to control the prosthetic. Hybrid prosthetics combine the features of both myoelectric and body-powered prosthetics. Some companies in the Upper Limb Prosthetics market include Ottobock, Touch Bionics, Hanger Clinic, and Össur. Show Less Read more
