UE PROSTHETICS:

1. Passive
2. Body powered/cable driven
3. Myoelectric
4. Hybrid

Amputation level Prosthetic Component Design/type Function Pro’s/Con’s/etc

Shoulder Ottobock articulating Myoelectric ROM calibration/less Heavy/training
disarticulation shoulder Energy required/expensive/upkeep
required/increased
functional ROM
X-Frame design Passive/body powered Less componentry/some More energy required to
functional ROM move/ less functional
Humeral Open/closed shoulder design High trans-humeral
amputations
Ottobock 12K50 elbow Hybrid elbow- cable or Electric lock feature/slip Have infinite locking
ballistic stop positions
Motion Control UTAH arm Myoelectric Elbow ROM for Heavier,
transhumeral pt. customizable/pattern
recognition
Radio/ulnar TH sleeve Short/very short TR/ utilizes
suction
TR supracondylar Valve/tube that sits above Low anterior wall, more
olecranon – suction secure fit
suspension
Infra-condylar Longer RL/suction Full elbow ROM, less
suspension secures than supra-condylar
Wrist (carpal) Transcarpal non-myoelctric/ Passive or body powered Durable/lightweight Less functional/less ROM
Titan Series
Myoelectric/microprocesso More expensive/but More
r increased hand function components/expensive
Hand/fingers I-limb digits Trans-MC/microprocessor Multiple grip Programmable, more
(MCP/IP) controlled patterns/gestures expensive , hand has 24
 grasp patterns
M Fingers Manual or myoelectric Uses tenodesis motion to Need long Residual digit,
/tenodesis motion- regain finger funcftion not for cosmetic only
restoration pt., good
strength/ROM
Vincent Fingers MCP/manual or powered Fast/multiple grip Sleek design
patterns
Titan Partial Finger/thumb Manual controlled 4 ratchet positions for High strength, easy
individual fingers assembly, different
interfaces available, less
resembling of normal ROM
Terminal Devices Hooks Voluntary open/body Pinch force/lighter Easier to adapt back to
(General) powered weight option for hand life/durable/less
replacement maintenance
Sensor hand Myoelectric Sensor to detect mm Vary fast, good grip force,
activity to use to regulate slip recognition feature
terminal device patterns
Electric Terminal Device Battery powered Hook or other option for Water proof, light weight,
terminal device wrist flexion option, sensor
to control grip force
Greifer Manual operated “loster claw” terminal Clutch release lever/high
device grip strength
I-limb/B-Bionic Microprocessor/ More “normal” hand Different grasp
myoelectric function patterns/gestures, fast,
natural motions, may need
mm activation, more
expensive, more upkeep
