Can I hold a raw egg with the exomotion® hand one?
Yes, with the pulse and 2-channel controls, the grip force can be controlled via the signal amplitude. The higher the amplitude, the stronger the grip force.
What are the differences between pulse, active and 2-channel control?
The impulse control works with a sensor and controls the orthosis via the adjustable distinction between a short and a long muscle tension. You don’t have to maintain muscle tension to keep your hand closed. The active control works with a sensor and controls the orthosis directly via permanent muscle tension. As long as you […]

How does the exomotion® hand one work?
The exomotion® hand one uses a sensor to detect the contraction of a muscle of the hand that is still functional and thus detects the intention to move. The software uses the sensor signal to control the high-performance microdrives. These specifically transmit force into the exomechanics, which open and close the fingers and thus provide […]
