Turning Disabilities Into Super Powers

Myoelectrics allows the user to control the prosthesis without using their remaining limb, making the completion of tasks requiring two hands infinitely easier. Progress in robotics, programming and the miniaturisation of technology allows for more data to be stored in a smaller space.

The Hero Arm™, for example, has a number of preset hand movements built in and can swap seamlessly between them. Depending on the task at hand (pun intended) the user wants to complete, the functionality of the Hero Arm™ can be tailored to individual tasks by choosing the right grip type for the job. Instead of having one tool for the job and working around it like the hook, modern prosthetic arms offer a number of different tools and functions to help support the user in their activity.
