Bebionic

bebionic prosthetic hand small - Tutorial: thumb adjustment contact point

This how-to video shows the thumb adjustment to contact point of the bebionic hand small. The adjustment option makes it possible to optimize the contact point of the thumb with the opposite index and middle fingers (for the tripod grip), or with the index finger only (pinch and precision grips). The adjustment screw is located below the CMC joint of the thumb. Perform the following steps to make the adjustments. Always read the IFU of the bebionic hand carefully before start adjusting the hand.

Meridium

Meridium - Safety Mode

In safety mode (for example, when the battery is drained) the Meridium switches to individually set resistances for Plantar and DF. The standing stop is not available. The values ​​set by the OT should provide a compromise between statics and dynamics. This video shows the impact and training of walking in safety mode, on level surfaces, on ramps and on stairs.
