The mind-controlled prosthetic arm makes it possible to perform movements in the joints as they were performed by the natural arm prior to amputation: intuitively and simultaneously.
Myoelectrically controlled arm prostheses are externally powered prostheses, which means that they are not driven by the muscle strength of the patient, but with the aid of electric power.
Cosmetic, or so-called passive arm prostheses, are worn by people who consider their appearance very important. The prosthesis rounds out the image they have of their body.
