Results for tag: "Prosthetic Arm"

The field of orthopedic devices encompasses a broad range of products designed to address conditions and injuries related to the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints, and ligaments. Within this domain, prosthetic arms represent a specialized category aimed at replacing or augmenting the function of an upper limb lost to amputation or congenital conditions. The demand for prosthetic arms has been driven by advances in materials science, microelectronics, and biomechanics, enabling the development of devices that offer increased functionality, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Prosthetic arms typically include components such as sockets that attach to the residual limb, articulated joints, and terminal devices that substitute for hands. A key area of innovation within this market is myoelectric prosthetics, which use electrical signals from the user's residual muscles to control the movements of the prosthesis. In the prosthetic arm market, several companies stand out for their contributions and presence. Among these are Ossur, Ottobock, Touch Bionics, Hanger Clinic, and DEKA Research & Development. Each of these companies offers a range of prosthetic solutions and are consistently engaged in research and development to enhance the capabilities and availability of upper limb prosthetic devices.
