TY - JOUR AB - Products A. Artificial hand with an automatic grasping feature Rehab Designs of America, a leading provider of orthotic and prosthetic services, is now offering SensorHand™, an artificial hand with a myoelectric sensor that allows it to grip objects and respond to weight and tension like a real hand does. Sensors in the SensorHand can detect changes in an object's weight or center of gravity and then transmit the data to a microprocessor that automatically adjusts the hand's grip force. Rehab Designs of America is believed to be the first orthotic and prosthetic company in the United States to successfully fit and provide the hand as part of its ArmDesigns program that focuses on the care of patients with upper‐extremity needs.
