Installation of Myoelectric Prosthesis

1, What is MEDI-REHATEK myoelectric upper limb?

Myoelectric upper limb relies on myoelectric signal issued from residual limb  of the disabled, which is amplified to a certain value by the amplification circuit.It controls the motor running, so that the upper arm like a functional upper limb prosthesis can complete the opening and closing of the hand, wrist rotation, elbow flexion and extension.It completely depends on the user's subjective desire to work, that is indirectly controlled by the brain.It is very convenient to use, and control methods are also very close to the real hand.

2, What we should pay attention to the installation of myoelectric prosthesis?

After installation of electromyic prostheses, we should pay attention to keeping the prosthetic socket clean, often wiping the inner prosthetic socket with alcohol cotton ball.We should often clean the stump, keep the residual limb clean. This will help the amplifier receive myoelectric signals, and prevent skin inflammation. Please waterproof the myoelectric prosthesis, the battery should be used in turn.Timely recharging will extend battery life. You should practice diligently and make the artificial hand become a part of your body.

3, who is not suitable for the installation of myoelectric prostheses?

Patients with forearm amputation if the elbow is stiff and loses flexion and extension function, they have severe skin grafting, scar adhesions, brachial plexus injury, muscle loses contractile function.

Patients with upper arm amputation if they have severe skin grafting, scar adhesions, brachial plexus injury, muscle loses contractile function who are not suitable for the installation of myoelectric prostheses.
