Upper Limb Prosthesis - Otto Bock / DynamicArm

A new generation of elbow joints has arrived with flexion controlled by an electric motor in combination with a unique vario drive. The DynamicArm 12K100 allows for quick, exact positioning of the hand with minimal energy expenditure and incorporates an innovative, high-performance drive with stepless gears that can lift loads up to 6 kg (13 lbs). The elbow also has a static holding capacity of 50 lbs (22 kg), and will slip if the weight limit is exceeded—without damaging the elbow.

®system, along with newly developed signal processing allow for more physiological movement. Thanks to Otto Bock’s DMC control concept, strength and speed can be controlled with natural ease. The integrated AFB (Automatic Forearm Balance) stores the energy released when the arm is lowered and helps lift it during flexion, allowing the arm to swing quietly and naturally while walking. Lithium Ion battery delivers reliable, high performance. The 12K100 is compatible with all Otto Bock quick disconnect terminal devices. All Otto Bock quick disconnect terminal devices are compatible with the DynamicArm. We recommend the SensorHand® Speed and Vario Greifer for the greatest user function. The DynamicArm also incorporates Bluetooth technology for programming and training without cords or cables.

Upper Limb Prosthesis - Myoelectric Arms – Otto Bock

Otto Bock offers state-of-the-art technology with the aim of combining low weight and extraordinary function with appealing design. The 12K44 ErgoArm® Hybrid plus is recommended for hybrid protheses with a myoelectric hand and a cable-controlled elbow joint. And with its integrated "EasyPlug" cable guide, all electric cables disappear inside the prosthesis so that they are both inconspicuous and protected.

®Electronic plus can be locked or unlocked with myo-signals as well as with a switch. This happens inconspicuously in fractions of a second and offers reliable loading in any position.

Lower Limb Prosthesis – Otto Bock / C-Leg

With C-Leg ® microprocessor-controlled knee you can speed up, slow down, take on hills and go down stairs step-over-step—all with a secure, more natural gait. The revolutionary microprocessor that controls the C-Leg ® receives feedback from multiple sensors 50 times a second, allowing the knee to anticipate your next move and make adjustments in real time. This keeps your knee stable when you weight it, free-swinging when you step through—and always ready to support you if you stumble.

®senses that you're in an insecure position—such as when you trip or stumble—it will stiffen to provide the support you need to recover. When it senses that you're secure again, it offers its normal, reliable support.
