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.
