What types of upper-limb prostheses are there?
Passive (cosmetic), body-powered (cable-operated), and myoelectric devices controlled by your muscle signals — including multi-articulating hands. We match the device to your goals and residual anatomy.
How does a myoelectric hand work?
Sensors read the small electrical signals from the muscles in your residual limb and translate them into grip and finger movement.
How long does it take to learn to use a myoelectric arm?
Most people gain functional control over several weeks of fitting and training. We provide hands-on practice so it becomes second nature.
Does insurance cover myoelectric arms?
Medically necessary upper-limb prostheses are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial plans with a prescription. We verify benefits and document medical necessity for you.
Do you fit the Össur i-Limb Quantum?
Yes. Our clinicians are Össur-certified for the i-Limb system, including the i-Limb Quantum multi-articulating myoelectric hand — from fitting and socket work through myoelectric setup, service, and repairs.
