2 Product description
2.1 Function
The Michelangelo Hand is a myoelectrically controlled gripping component in the modular
Ottobock Axon-Bus prosthetic system. The complex gripping kinematics combined with the ana­
tomical appearance and low weight support the patient in his or her daily activities, thereby
providing the highest rehabilitation value.
The Michelangelo Hand is equipped with two drives to achieve a natural motion pattern. The main
drive is responsible for the gripping movements and gripping force. The thumb drive facilitates
the two gripping modes 'Opposition Mode' and 'Lateral Mode'. Actively driven components are
thus the thumb, index finger and middle finger. The ring finger and little finger passively follow the
movements.
Gripping modes of the Michelangelo Hand
The following gripping options are possible:
14
Neutral Position
Natural, physiological appearance in the rest position.
