Dear List Members
I have an amputee to whom Elbow Disarticulation prosthesis was fitted
with Otto Bock system Electro-Hand 2000 ( for Children). External elbow
joints were used with cable control. The child has learned most of the
activities away from body midline. But still could not perform hand to
mouth activities due to lack of elbow flexion. Since the battery was
mounted on the palmer side of the forearm shell, elbow flexion could
not be achieved more than 90 degrees, We could not trim proximal border
of the forearm shell much, as very little clearance is left between
battery holder and proximal forearm trim line.
I would highly appreciate if someone could provide me information about
the manufacturer who is manufacturing Myo Components & have Batteries
smaller than the size LxWxH ( 69x26.5x14.5 mm) .This is the smallest
size (O.B 757B13) that Otto bock has.
Thanking You
