Myo-electric hand prosthesis Kinisi

articulatedadult

The Myo Kinisi is a myoelectrically controlled terminal device engineered to provide optimal control, responding intuitively to the strength and speed of the user’s muscle contractions. This prosthetic hand is designed to be tailored by the prosthetist to the individual’s needs, with multiple wrist, size and hand mode options for the patient’s comfort and usability. This device aims to assist Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), by providing an easy to control, high speed grasp, alongside a strong grip force. Optimally powered using high-capacity battery systems, it is recommended for use with an S-Charge System fabricated within the forearm. A durable PVC hand shell encloses and protects the hand’s internal mechanism, accompanied by the Elegance Plus reinforced silicone glove, specifically designed for the Myo Kinisi. Features & Benefits Suitable for patients at levels equivalent to transradial and more proximally, in both unilateral and bilateral applications Auto-grip feature automatically tightens the grip on slipping objects Compatible with a range of industry standard inputs including myoelectrodes, switches, force sensitive resistors and linear transducers Integrated low-profile on/off function button Internal manual safety mechanism for patient reassurance which allows the grip to be released in an emergency Supercapacitor technology provides efficient control and power conservation Strong titanium chassis for durability Electronic ‘gear change’ allows power to be stored and released on demand The Steeper Configuration Device provides the option to select one of five control modes and customise the standard hand settings to fit each individual patient
