Myoelectric hand
Posted By: Stephan Manucharian on April 19, 2017
Dear List: I am refitting a congenital shoulder disarticulation with a new switch controlled external power prosthesis (patient has a remaining digit to operate the components). For his previous prosthesis (6-7 years ago) I used an E-two electric elbow and a Centri myo hand. Everything worked perfectly and was economical because of the "minus 30%" health plan that he had (still has). E-two elbow is still available, however, Centri myo hand has been discontinued. I cannot use Boston Arm or Bebionic because of the cost. What are the low-cost alternatives for myo hands that are compatible with E-two elbow? Thank you. Stephan *>* *Dr. Stephan R.
