Description

Cable-controlled Arm Prostheses

Cable-controlled arm prostheses are body-powered prostheses and are also called active prehensile arms. The functions of the prosthesis are controlled with the body power of, for example, the residual limb and/or the shoulder girdle.

System Hands

The System Hand, developed by Otto Bock, meets the cosmetic and functional requirements of the patient.

Hooks

With cable-controlled prostheses, a Hook can be used alternatively to the System Hand as a grasping tool

Body Harnesses

Greater movement, simple control. Otto Bock Body Harnesses control hand and elbow functions through movements of the residual limb and shoulder
