Posted on by admin in Disability Products
BeBionic, a UK based company has unveiled one of their greatest achievements to date in terms of disability equipment – a myo-electric bionic hand. It is being hailed as the next generation of fully articulated myo-electric hands. Myo-electric is s term that means by muscle contractions made on the surface of the residual limb. A small computer takes the input made by the muscle contractions and translates it to hand movements that are based on its configured action profiles. Disabled living for those missing hands due to birth defects or unfortunate accidents will be able to gain some independence via this form of disability equipment.
There have been mechanical hands in the past offered to those living with a disability however this new creation from BeBionic is the first to feature rotational articulation. Another improvement is the presence of wireless capabilities when communicating between the hand and the computer. Previous models only allowed communication via USB.
Where this disability product really shines is with its ability to allow the user to customize commands to their liking in regards to speed, force and grip patterns for everyday tasks. Disabled people will be able to supercharge their lives by enhancing their daily living routines and computer skills like typing.
The disability product from BeBionic will be available to the public through worldwide distribution in June. The units feature 19 different realistic silicone skin tones.
