Upper Limb Prosthetics
Upper limb prosthetics are artificial devices designed to replace lost or missing arms or hands. These prosthetics can help individuals regain functionality and improve their quality of life. They come in various forms, including mechanical prosthetics, which are operated by the user's movements, and myoelectric prosthetics, which use electrical signals from muscles to control the device.
Advancements in technology have led to more sophisticated designs, allowing for greater dexterity and control. Some upper limb prosthetics are equipped with sensors and motors, enabling users to perform tasks like grasping objects or typing. These innovations aim to provide a more natural experience for users, enhancing their independence and daily activities.
