Upper Extremity Prosthetics
Below are samples of some of the technology available to you at District Amputee Care Center
Body Powered:
External Powered:
TRS Inc. was formed in 1979, by upper limb amputee Bob
Radocy, who was frustrated by the limited performance of
commercially available prosthetic devices. Since then, TRS has
grown to become the leading innovator of body-powered
prosthetic devices in the world. Specialty devices for activities
from golf to weight lifting to fishing. Click here for more

Hands & work devices:
Otto bock - The new SensorHand® SPEED has unmatched
speed and responsiveness. In addition to increased speed, the
unique AutoGrasp feature keeps held objects from slipping by
monitoring and changing grip force as needed. Click here for
more information
The endoskeletal carpal hand is approximately 1/3 lighter and
1/3 shorter than other hands while still maintaining the same
grip strength and opening width. Click here for more

Motion Control - is the leading U.S. manufacturer of
myoelectric and externally powered prosthetic arm systems.
The flexion wrist allows the hand or work device to be
positioned in a more natural position. Click here for more
information.
The ETD or electrical terminal device is the only water
resistant external powered device commercially available. The
unique grip pattern makes the device very useful when working
with small objects or when durability is invaluable. Click here

Elbows:
Otto bock - The DynamicArm 12K100 raises elbow function
to the next level! It actively lifts loads weighing up to 13 lbs
(6kg), responds twice as fast as other elbows (0.5 seconds from
full flexion to extension) and features AXON Bus technology that
delivers virtually instantaneous responsiveness to the user.

Motion Control - is the leading U.S. manufacturer of
myoelectric and externally powered prosthetic arm systems.
Motion Control introduced microprocessor technology into the
Utah Arm 3 (U3), with a Computer Interface that allows the
prosthetist or wearer to fine-tune the adjustments to achieve
maximum performance. Click here for more information

LTI - The Boston Digital Arm System has many advanced
features and capabilities. It can control up to four other
prosthetic devices in addition to the elbow itself. For example,
hands, grippers, wrist rotators, shoulder lock actuators, etc. can
be operated through the Boston Digital Arm. And, these devices
can be sequentially selected and operated by the user through
co-contraction switching. Click here for more information
