Posliinilaattoista

Posliinilaattoista is a type of upper-limb prosthesis designed for individuals with amputations or limited mobility in their arms. It is typically used by individuals who have undergone an amputation above the elbow or those who experience limited supination and pronation due to conditions such as spina bifida or severe brain injuries.

The primary function of a posliinilaattoista is to provide a way for the individual to interact with their environment and perform daily activities. The device is typically made of lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber or aluminum, and is designed to be comfortable and durable. It usually consists of a hook or a grasp-and-release mechanism attached to a metal or plastic linkage system that connects to the person's innervated muscles.

Posliinilaattoista prostheses are designed to be controlled through a combination of muscle signals and manual adjustments. The individual can control the opening and closing of the device by contracting specific muscles. However, additional manual adjustments might be necessary to fine-tune the movement. This device can be customized to accommodate the user's specific needs and preferences.

Research and development of posliinilaattoista prostheses aim to improve dexterity and functionality for individuals with upper-limb impairments. These devices have the potential to enhance individuals' independence and participation in daily activities, such as cooking, feeding, and dressing. Moreover, advancements in this field could lead to new technologies that improve prosthetic control and overall user experience.
