Cable-controlled Arm Prostheses

Cable-controlled arm prostheses are body-powered prostheses and are also called active prehensile arms. The functions of the prosthesis are controlled with the body power of, for example, the residual limb and/or the shoulder girdle.

System Hands

The System Hand, developed by Otto Bock, meets the cosmetic and functional requirements of the patient.

Hooks

With cable-controlled prostheses, a Hook can be used alternatively to the System Hand as a grasping tool.

Body Harnesses

Greater movement, simple control. Otto Bock Body Harnesses control hand and elbow functions through movements of the residual limb and shoulder.

Upper Extremity Joint Bars

For certain types of upper extremity prostheses and orthoses, the upper extremity joint bars are invaluable functional components for guidance and connection.
