Hello,

 

I am looking examples of a body powered brachial plexus hybrid device. My prospective patient has strong protraction and retraction of the shoulder and would like to have a device that allows him to flex and lock his elbow and protect his arm. Are there currently any orthotic elbow joints that offer function similar to an conventional prosthetic elbow?

 

Thank you,
