The fingers on the new bebionic hand passively move to give the user a more natural appearance. They also yield when they brush against people or unintentionally bump into objects and fold away to protect the mechanics of the hand.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the bebionic.

How long will it take before I can use the bebionic hand correctly?

Every user has different needs and learns at different speeds. Just like the old saying "practice makes perfect"! Usually, it only takes a few moments to start to open and close the hand the first time you use it, but of course, to perfect these movements to allow use in your everyday life, takes a little longer to perfect. Your therapist will guide you through the training processes.

How do I control the bebionic hand?

When muscles contract, they generate a very small electric current. Your prosthetist will place electrodes in your prosthesis that rest on the surface of your skin. These electrodes pick up the electric signals and convert them to movement of the hand, wrist or elbow. The movements in the prosthesis are proportional to the contraction of your muscle. So, if you contract your muscle at a high speed, the hand will open/close quickly. Very clever!
