  Loewen Prosthetic Upper Body Services

Upper Extremity amputees have very specific needs. In order to determine these, a thorough clinical assessment is performed and an in depth discussion with each patient is held. This enables us to provide the best prosthetic care for the individual. We fit passive restorative, conventional body powered and myoelectrically controlled devices.

Otto Bock Sensor Hand
An upper extremity amputee strives to handle objects carefully and effectively. They are always aware that the object may drop from their prosthetic hand. The goal would be to transfer this concentration from the tool (hand) to the task (object).

The new Sensor Hand from Otto Bock Orthopedic Industry of Canada offers greater function, control and ultimately peace of mind to its users. Microchip and slip sensor technology allows the hand to instantaneously adjust its grip without any input from the user to prevent slippage. An additional flexy-grip feature allows the amputee to reposition an object in the hand without any EMG input. The hand will automatically reset its grip to the appropriate amount of grasp required to hold the object. The Sensor Hand is completely adaptable to the user in a variety of control options that include dual site, single site, digital, proportional and switch control. All achieved through the use of different coding plugs. Many of the control options offer input and unique modalities that introduce new degrees of freedom and function to higher level amputees.
