Liberating Technologies' Boston Arm System
Liberating Technologies’ Boston Digital™ Arm System is a microprocessor-based prosthesis with state-of-the-art components. It provides a platform for controlling various upper-limb prosthetic devices, such as hands, grippers, wrist rotators and shoulder joint actuators. Options include patient feedback and simultaneous control of two devices. It is compatible with all manufacturers’ terminal devices and can be operated with a variety of input sensors, such as myoelectrodes, linear transducers, Touch Pads™ or switches.
New features of the Boston Digital Arm include:
- High-sensitivity myoelectrical signal processiong
- Differential myocontrol
- Adjustable offset/deadband to eliminate unwanted noise from myosignals
- Independent gains for each channel/muscle
- Reliable Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
- Uses new Texas Instruments digital signal processor
- New remote electrodes and linear transducer
