Gravity ® is the new patented ultra-light arm and forearm prosthesis with variable gravity and weight for the rehabilitation of newly amputated people or patients suffering from agenesis.
The new ultralight Gravity ® prosthesis, for arms and forearms, thanks to its modular characteristics, allows for better acceptance by the patient.
Gravity ® is a honeycomb-type prosthesis, designed for excellent resistance and resilience.
Under the surface, it has flexible “shells” intended to receive the steel counterweight balls to obtain the best balance of the prosthesis.
The balance of the prosthesis can be modified radially and axially by the physiotherapist.
The gradual addition of a certain number of spheres will allow the patient to gradually get used to the final weight of the prosthesis.
The spheres can also be arranged up to the fingers of the prosthetic hand, to facilitate and achieve distal balance without adding excessive weight.
Gravity ® can be equipped with a mobile device inside the prosthesis which allows the center of gravity of the prosthesis itself to be varied, adapting to its position in space.
This variation can also be modified based on the physiotherapist’s assessments or the patient’s actual needs.
Incremental changes in translational mass and device weight can be made easily.
The new Gravity ® prosthesis is ideal for amputations and agenesis with a short forearm stump.
It is precisely in this type of pathology that the center of gravity and weight are of fundamental importance. If the patient wishes, Gravity ® will help them get used to the weight of a future functional prosthesis.
