This disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and devices for a powered prosthetic digit. The disclosed devices restore prehension in a person with missing fingers or thumb by providing motor-driven extension and flexion, and opposition to forces in the extension direction via a pawl and locking rack ratchet mechanism, thereby allowing an individual to manipulate or stabilize objects. In one embodiment, a digit comprises a base configured to be removably couplable to an anchor, a first segment pivotably coupled to the base, and a second segment removably coupled to the first segment. The first segment comprises a rack with a plurality of rack teeth and a pawl with a nose configured to engage with the rack to prevent pivoting of the first segment in a rotational direction corresponding to extension of the prosthetic digit. The second segment comprises a drive gear operable to pivot the first segment with respect to the base.

A prosthetic wrist unit includes a drive motor, to be interposed between the distal end of an arm prosthesis and a prosthetic terminal device for positioning the terminal device at desired orientations. A reduction mechanism includes first and second cycloidal reduction stages, connected to each other, the first stage having a central wheel connected to the motor shaft, one or more satellite wheels rotatably placed on a planet carrier, and a fixed outer ring gear, the satellite wheels being in peripheral contact with the central wheel and the outer ring gear, the planet carrier being connected to the second stage. The central wheel, the satellite wheels and the outer ring gear have smooth mutually engaging surfaces, causing a rolling of the satellite wheels on the outer ring gear by friction forces generated by radial interference between the central wheel, the satellite wheels and the outer ring gear.

A coupling device, for connecting at least one first prosthetic part with at least one second prosthetic part of which at least one of the prosthetic parts is provided with, alternatively is suitable to be provided with, cosmetics. The coupling device comprises at least one first coupling part and at least one second coupling part which are suitable for connection to each other and in a connected position are temporarily locked to each other with at least one locking device. The coupling parts are disengaged from each other with at least one disengaging device. The first coupling part comprises at least one first holder for cosmetics and the second coupling part comprises at least one second holder for cosmetics. The cosmetics are attached to, alternatively integrated with, at least one of the first holder for cosmetics and the second holder for cosmetics.

A prosthetic arm apparatus including a plurality of segments that provide a user of the prosthetic arm apparatus with substantially the same movement capability and function as a human arm. The segments are connectable to one another and connectable to a prosthetic support apparatus that may be adorned by the user. Some segments may provide movement about more than one axis using a single actuator. The prosthetic arm apparatus may include a user interface incorporated therein and may include one or more communication systems for communicating with external devices.

The invention relates to an orthopedic joint with a first component, a second component that is arranged on the first component such that it can be swiveled about a swivel axis, and at least one damper that is configured and arranged to damp a swiveling of the first component relative to the second component, and an actuator for swiveling the first component relative to the second component in at least one direction. According to the invention, the actuator is arranged on the first component or the second component on a medial or lateral side such that it can be detached.

A prosthetic adaptor includes a post plate, a grip plate coupled to the post plate, and an equipment interface coupled to the post plate. The equipment interface can be coupled to the post plate at an end of the post plate distal from the grip plate. The post plate can include a concave surface. The concave surface can be configured to receive a Hosmer-like prosthetic hook.

A robotic assembly control system is disclosed. The robotic assembly control system includes an exoskeleton apparatus adapted to be worn by a user, at least one robotic assembly, the at least one robotic assembly controlled by the user by way of the exoskeleton, and at least one mobile platform, the at least one mobile platform controlled by the user and wherein the at least one robotic assembly is attached to the at least one mobile platform.

A foot prosthesis that includes at least one spring element, an attachment member, and a heel member. The at least one spring element has a toe end portion, a heel end portion, an upper surface, and a lower surface. The attachment member is mounted to the upper surface and is configured to connect the foot prosthesis to a lower limb prosthesis component. A position of the attachment member is adjustable along a length of the at least one spring element. The heel member is mounted below the lower surface of the at least one spring element, and a position of the heel member is adjustable along the length of the at least one spring element.

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for determining alignment angles between a first prosthetic component and a second prosthetic component that are joinable together in a fixed orientation relative to each other, wherein the fixed orientation includes a first angle and optionally also a second angle that are perpendicular to each other, and wherein the first and/or second angles are selectable from a range of angles to provide a desired fixed orientation between the two prosthetic components. The system includes a magnet fixedly coupled to the first prosthetic component and one or more magnetic intensity sensors configured to be coupled to the second prosthetic component in a fixed orientation relative to the second prosthetic component such that the sensors are operable to sense a magnetic field of the magnet and produce an output signal in response to the strength of the sensed magnetic field. The system can include a processor operable to receive the output signals from the sensors and determine the first and/or second angles.
