Myoelectric prosthetics

Myoelectric prosthetics are advanced artificial limbs controlled by electrical signals generated by the user’s muscle movements. Small sensors placed on the skin detect electrical activity from remaining muscles, which are then translated into signals that operate the prosthetic’s motors. This allows for more natural and precise movement, enabling users to perform daily tasks with greater ease and dexterity. Myoelectric prosthetics often feature programmable settings and multiple grip options, improving functionality and comfort. They represent a significant technological improvement over traditional prostheses by providing intuitive control and restoring a higher level of limb function.
