DynamicArm
Amputations above the elbow constitute a special challenge since the function of the elbow has to be replaced in addition to that of the hand. The DynamicArm elbow joint makes virtually natural movements possible with its special technology. Controlled by your muscle signals, the DynamicArm is driven by an electric motor. The control unit of the DynamicArm also transmits the muscle signals to the prosthetic hand, so that you are able to rotate the wrist unit in addition to opening and closing the hand with short response times. You can extend and flex the DynamicArm as well.

We recommend combining the DynamicArm with the Ottobock VariPlus Speed. It is equipped with a high-performance drive unit, and opens and closes almost three times as fast as other electric hands. A fitting with the DynamicArm and VariPlus Speed restores numerous abilities to hold objects, grasp and be active at work, in everyday life and recreation.

Gripping speed and force are continuously monitored by two measuring systems and controlled in proportion to the muscle signal.
Energy released when extending the arm is stored with the help of the AFB (Automatic Forearm Balance) flexion aid and subsequently used to support flexion. The flexion aid also allows the arm to swing freely in a smooth, natural manner.
Movement is naturally slowed when the forearm swings freely during walking, ensuring a discreet and silent appearance.
Nine different programs allow the system to adapt to various requirements.
The integrated BionicLink Bluetooth interface allows all individual settings to be made wirelessly, even when the user is wearing the prosthesis.
The gripping speed and gripping force are continuously monitored by two measuring systems and controlled in proportion to the muscle signals. Even difficult tasks such as grasping a tomato or other delicate objects do not pose a problem.
The DynamicArm prevents unnatural and jerky movements. The beginning of a movement is always controlled, and it is gently slowed at the end – just like the human arm.
An electronically controlled flexion aid supports flexion of the elbow joint. When the forearm swings freely while walking, this movement is naturally slowed. This is done discreetly and without sound.
With the DynamicArm, you can perform more than one movement at a time – flexing the arm, rotating the wrist unit and grasping an object with the hand.
This DynamicArm electric elbow is available in another colour – the black edition. The modern design emphasises the high tech quality of the product for sophisticated upper arm fittings. A carbon shell can also be ordered as an option.

Prosthesis training
The important prosthesis training phase begins for you once you have been fitted with a prosthesis. Making it possible for you to use the prosthesis so it actually helps you in your daily life is the goal. At the outset, an occupational therapist helps you practice movement patterns such as eating or getting dressed. With special exercises, you learn to position the prosthesis correctly to achieve an optimum position for grasping. Once you are sufficiently confident in using your prosthesis, you practice controlling your muscle strength. Items like foam rubber, drinking straws or paper cups help you determine the various amounts of pressure your muscle contractions can produce, and how this affects materials and solidity.
