People with an amputation of leg or arm to provide mid 2011 of an intelligent knee prosthesis controlled by a microprocessor and one that extends the functionality of the bionic hand "Michelangelo", which largely increase their mobility.
So Friday was seen in the Feria Spain Orto Pro Care 2010, where the company Otto Bock Ibérica orthoprosthetic intelligent knee and presented his new version of "Michelangelo."
"Genium" which is the name of the new knee, is a "smart prosthesis completely microprocessor-controlled leg, which manufacturers claim will allow" a more natural gait and healthy. "
The system that will fit all sizes and weights, is based on a series of sensors embedded inside the knee, which made "accurate measurements" and allow the tip to make more natural movements.
So said Pilar Moro, director of Otto Bock Ibérica, knee smart, you can stand naturally, walking uphill and down on irregular ground, a ramp, avoiding obstacles without problems, "or up and down stairs step by step with total control and security."
"MICHELANGELO"
For its part, "Prosthetic System" is a system that extends the functionality of the bionic hand "Michelangelo", filed two years ago at the same fair, bringing "the nervous system that controls it."
"Michelangelo" is based on imitation of movements and grip patterns of the natural hand function, which "allows a variety of flexible and functional movements," explained its creators.
Its manufacturing base of high-strength steel, they said, replaces the structure of human bones and joints. Also consists of silicone elastomers, which emulate the soft structures, and other high-tech fibers that replace the muscles and tendons.
Thumb and the other fingers have two different actuators that enable two axes of movement, allowing different speeds and grip strength.
