Usage

Children wearing ADEPTs are capable of gripping as hard or harder than with their natural hands. This allows them to be more competitive with peers, because they can create as little or as much gripping force as they need for an activity. They can pull themselves up, swing, climb, ride a bike, assemble models, sew, draw, tie sneakers, lace skates, swing a bat, fish, sail and much more!

Training

Review TRS Educational CD.

Note: TRS recommends that training with ADEPTs always be conducted or supervised by a registered therapist experienced in upper-limb prosthetics.
