    Versatile gripping options

    michelangelo supports a wide range of everyday and work-related grips - from laterally grasping a glass to handling flat objects such as paper, carrying a bowl on the open hand, or rotating a pen. Combined with the intelligent myosmart plus control, natural muscle patterns translate directly into intuitive gripping movements, allowing the hand’s functions to be used optimally.

    Real-time visual biofeedback

    The connectgrip app visualizes the user’s muscle signals in a dynamic display, helping identify optimal electrode placement and guide training with precision. This visualization supports efficient and high-quality fitting results.

    Versatile functionality through modular wrists

    Quattro polsi modulari consentono configurazioni protesiche personalizzate in base alle specifiche esigenze dell’utente. Il michelangelo è compatibile con il polso flessibile, l’esclusivo polso modulare ammortizzato di Ottobock. Questa combinazione supporta una postura più naturale e riduce i movimenti compensatori rispetto ai sistemi mioelettrici convenzionali.
