Myo-Electric Hands: Muscle-Controlled Precision
Understanding how electrode signals translate muscle movement into natural hand opening and closing.
Myo-electric prosthetic hands use surface electrodes to detect muscle contractions in the residual limb. Those signals drive motors that open and close the hand, often with proportional speed.
Training with our clinical team helps patients learn reliable control patterns for daily tasks like gripping utensils or shaking hands.
