Myoelectric Prostheses
Myoelectric prostheses utilize muscle contractions and their signals to activate a pre-programmed function to a terminal device. Some myoelectric devices simply open and close grip, some rotate the wrist for positioning, while some can also be much more advanced and have fully articulating fingers to perform more than one task. As technology advances, we stay up to date with new products; the latest being pattern recognition systems like COAPT or IBT. These new systems utilizes multiple electrodes to distinctly change the grip pattern to the next seamlessly. Feel free to ask your prosthetist for more details on what is available to you.

Microprocessor Feet
The first microprocessor foot was released in 2006 where it dared to address the issue of varying uneven terrain and slopes. Conventional feet had limitations particularly when walking up or down slopes because the ankle is fixed. This made it difficult for amputees to adjust and accommodate. Today, microprocessors have improved battery power and life, faster reaction times, and more accurate response to environmental factors like uneven terrain and slopes to provide the user stability and safety in unpredictable environments. It is important to note that with higher technology, more training may be necessary in order to fully utilize its potential.
