Prosthesis Solutions

Introduction

For people who’ve lost one or more of their fingers, or were born with a partial hand limb difference, there used to be very few prosthetic options. There are many types of terminal devices for people with below the elbow limb loss, but people with a partial hand difference can’t wear those. Luckily, there are now various partial hand devices available, including multi-articulating myoelectric fingers.

Arm functions and fine motor rehabilitation

While electric digits are an excellent option for some people, there are a few points to consider.

Durability —
Activity – specific device for his hobbies:fishingand hunting.
Water resistant – it cant get wet or be exposed to rugged activities that could damage the fingers.
Functionality – is ground-breaking and useful, all multi-articulating myoelectric devices, the fingers can only perform a series of pre-programmed grips — they do not move independently like they do on a sound hand. The landscape of upper limb prosthetic devices is changing quickly, however, some people are getting to control digits individually.

Electrically Powered Prostheses

An electrically powered prosthesis includes motors and batteries that provide movement and power to the prosthesis. The electric components vary based on the level of limb loss. There can be sensors or various inputs that detect the movement of muscles in the residual limb or upper body. These sensors or inputs then signal the motors in the prosthesis to make the desired movements. Some electrically powered prostheses have the option of being covered with a cosmetic glove. Cosmetic gloves are available in a wide range of flesh tones and can even be customized to match the remaining hand as closely as possible. In addition, multi-articulating myoelectric fingers can be useful for people with a partial hand difference. Learn more about electrically-powered prostheses.

Upper Limb Amputations and Prosthetic Solutions:

Finger & Partial Hand; Below the Elbow; Above the Elbow; Shoulder Level

This level of amputation covers a wide variety of limb loss that can include all or part of the thumb, all or part of the fingers, or amputation through the palm. Finger and partial hand amputations are often the result of traumatic injuries, can also be caused by disease or be present from birth. They are by far the most common type of upper limb amputations and make up about 90 percent of all upper limb differences. There are a variety of creative and functional prosthetic solutions available at this level.
