While this fact may sound hard to believe (or not), you can freely use the Vulcan prosthetic hand – a myoelectric hand to write a poem – an activity requiring fine motor skill, like any bionic hand.
So how can a myoelectric hand be able to operate at a bionic level, and in what ways does it improve users’ lives with fine motor skills? Discover in this blog!
Different Technology For Different Functions
While myoelectric technology focuses on muscle signals for control and performing activities through simple openness and closeness of the prosthetic hand, bionic technology encompasses a broader range of advanced functionalities, in which the fingers can be moved independently.
As a result, the cost of bionic hands is much higher, up to USD 100,000.
How Vulcan Prosthetic Hand Can Perform Some Tasks At The Bionic Level
The magic of the Vulcan hand lies in its unique designs, allowing it to be the myoelectric hand that can possess fine motor skills to perform some tasks at the bionic level.
Flexibility in Grasping
One of the unique features of the Vulcan hand is its three adjustable thumb lock positions.
These positions allow users to change how the thumb is locked in place, creating different grips for various tasks, instead of being able to just open and close like any other traditional myoelectric hand.
Depending on the thumb position, the Vulcan hand can grasp objects of different shapes and sizes, from gripping a bike’s handling bar, holding a pen, or picking up small items like coins, enhancing its usability.
Simple in Use
Despite the ability to adapt to complex tasks, the Vulcan hand makes it easy for any user to use it whenever he wants to change the grips.
No required complex controlling rules to control group grips, users can simply adjust the thumb lock position manually.
It can be customized to fit the specific requirements of each user, ensuring comfort and functionality.
Whether it’s writing, typing, or buttoning clothes, the Vulcan hand allows users to engage in detailed tasks that require precision and fine motor skills to perform some bionic-level tasks.
With the ability to restore up to 60% physical abilities of the biological hand; the Vulcan prosthetic hand can also boost confidence and self-esteem.
