When choosing which terminal device will best fit one’s needs, wants and lifestyle, there are many factors to consider.你想要可以处理的东西吗heavy-duty activities?还是您要抓住对象的迅速?您希望设备类似于什么?您想要未来派的机器人手吗?还是您想要看起来像常规人的手?

单运动肌电手可以提供非常像声音手的好处,同时也是由肌肉信号控制的设备。Cosmetic prostheses看起来非常像生活一样,但是它们是被动的,这意味着必须被用户完整的手移动和操纵。多关节肌电手可以提供各种各样的控制,但他们看起来roboti吗c. Single-motor hands can be covered with a custom realistic-looking glove so that most people don’t notice a limb difference.They also offer one or two muscle control spots which allow for the hand to open or close very quickly. Single-motor hands are the only myoelectric option available for孩子们。还值得注意的是,通常,这些类型的肌电设备比多隔离肌电设备更有可能被保险覆盖。

Our patientSherri Whittikeruses the single-motor Variplus Speed hand from Otto Bock. At the beginning of Sherri’s video below, you can watch her make jewelry, holding the pliers steady with her prosthetic hand:

Our ownKristi Wolfgram, an Arm Dynamics team member, also uses the Variplus Speed hand. We asked her a few questions about her prosthesis, including why she chose this particular prosthesis: “My top two priorities when it comes to a prosthesis for daily use were durability and the ability to cover it with a custom silicone cover-这是一个提供的。”我们还想知道她发现这些假体的哪一项任务特别有用:“这对于握住对象以释放我的右手非常有帮助,因此我可以做诸如敞开的门之类的事情。我用它握住狗皮带或握住一瓶水。如果我右手有东西,我的女儿在一起走时会经常举行假肢。”虽然她喜欢该设备的抓地力,速度,耐用性和硅胶盖,但她有时确实希望精确的运动技能更精确。“与我的女儿像闩锁钩一样,将小结,针,手工艺穿刺,手工艺品和手工艺品-那些很难。我从我的经验中知道body-powered device小时候,这些类型的假体对那些小巧的任务更好。”无论如何,单运动手为克里斯蒂(Kristi)带来了更多好处,因此这就是她多年来一直在幸福地使用的东西。

While both Sherri and Kristi use the Variplus Speed hand from Otto Bock, there are other single-motor hands that can be covered, including the Motion Control hand from Fillauer, the Electrohand 2000 pediatric hand and the SensorHand Speed, both from Otto Bock.
