Motion Prosthetics also fits and fabricates upper Extremity prosthetics. We provide body powered, Myo electric hooks, ETD from Motion Control, Myo-electric hands, I-limb, I-digits, be-bionic, and taska hand.
Our three main upper extremities prosthetic systems are a body powered heavy duty system, ETD myo hooks, and myo I-limbs or digits. We find these three combinations provide the widest variety of care and function.
Myoelectric devices are helping thousands of amputees across the world to improve their everyday lives with the increased function offered by its technological advantages. Earlier generation myoelectric terminal devices all have one common limitation, that they grip through only one configuration, with the index and middle digit meeting the thumb in opposition (3-jaw chuck/tripod pinch). These systems are powered by one motor and offer only one grip pattern – clearly limiting and reducing the prehension function of a prosthesis. Many of these earlier devices have to generate a stronger-than human grip force at the tip, where the digits meet, in order to successfully hold heavy or odd-shaped items. The i-limb has a stall detection feature that prevents this “crush hazard” that early generation myoelectric wearers fear can occur with an accidental muscle firing that can cause their prosthetic to clamp down relentlessly when operating their prosthetic around tender subjects, such as infants or young children.
We work with a diverse patient population from pediatric to geriatric and from everyday use to competitive athletes.
We work with most manufacturers and models.
A great prosthesis starts with a thorough evaluation. Important information determine the type of custom prosthesis we will be providing to include; a person’s vocation, hobbies, medical history, strength, family, and environment just to name a few.
A prosthesis is limited by its ability to function well with a wide variety of activities. We strive to design a prosthetic device to best support ADLs and additional activities such as, golf, hiking, bowling, skiing, pickleball, gardening, running, and the list goes on.
Motion Prosthetics utilize 3D scanning and 3D printing in the production of upper and lower extremity custom made prosthetics.
This technology enables us to make the most precise fitting prosthetic sockets in the state. Our scanners enhance your experience as a patient because they eliminate a lengthy casting procedure and the messy headache of plaster or other wet, messy casting products. Our prosthetics and orthotics scanning procedure takes approximately 45 seconds and generates a 3 dimensional replica of your limb that is uploaded to our industry leading software program for computer-assisted modifications. 3D scanning also enables us to track any changes occurring in your limb and make changes to your system with more precision than other companies that utilize casts and plaster molds.
Not only are we able to use 3D scanning to capture the size and shape of your limb, but we are the only company in Texas that is 3D printing prosthetic sockets. This is a cutting edge technology that you have to see to believe! We utilize 3D printed sockets to ensure that you are happy with the fit and function of your prosthesis prior to delivery.
