Arm-Prothesis / Otto Bock Healthcare Products

You can move this arm-prosthesis via the electrical signals of your muscles: Tensing your arm muscle produces a tiny electrical charge that is conducted via electrodes to the myoelectrical prosthesis (from the Greek word “myos” meaning muscle) – here a motor converts it into the intended movement and the prosthesis turns on

the light.
