Active (traction) prostheses
Prostheses of any amputation level with traction control system are quite functional, but their functionality is limited by the amputation level. The higher the amputation, the less functional the prosthesis will be.
Active prostheses consist of a stump sleeve with an attachment system, a carrier sleeve with a control system, a wrist joint (elbow joint during amputation above the elbow) and an active hand (non-removable) as a terminal device.
Working (traction) prostheses
These prostheses are quite functional, but their functionality is limited by the level of amputation. The higher the amputation, the less functional the prosthesis will be.
Working prosthetics of the forearm consist of a stump-receiving sleeve with a fastening system, a carrier sleeve (elbow joint during amputation above the elbow) and a receiver of working attachments as a terminal device. A variety of working nozzles, both specialized and universal, are inserted into the receiver of the working nozzles, maximum functionality can be realized due to the hook.
Prostheses with microprocessor control
MIO(bio) electric forearm prostheses (with an external energy source) are the most modern technologies in upper limb prosthetics.
The prosthesis is controlled by the sensors reading pulses on the surface of the stump. Mio(bio) electric prostheses of the forearm (with an external energy source) consist of a stump sleeve with a fastening system and with mio (bio) contacts, a carrier sleeve with a base for the power supply and with a switching system, a wrist joint (elbow joint during amputation above the elbow, which can also be with the mio/bio system controls) and brushes with electric drive with control systems built into them
Cosmetic prosthetics
Cosmetic prosthesis of any amputation level performs an aesthetic function. Cosmetic prostheses are as close as possible to the natural appearance of the lost limb, but at the same time have the most minimal functionality.
Cosmetic prostheses consist of a stump sleeve with an attachment system, a carrier sleeve, a wrist joint (elbow joint during amputation above the elbow) and a cosmetic brush as a terminal device.
