Consistent battery care helps clinics identify damage early, guide patients through correct charging, and know when an issue requires manufacturer support. Maintenance for the Aether Battery System should follow the current Instructions for Use,...

Learning a bionic hand starts with basic control, then builds toward real daily use. Many users begin learning simple open-and-close movements during early fitting and training, but using a bionic hand confidently in everyday life usually takes...
For a bionic hand to respond to a user’s intent, the prosthetic system needs a reliable way to detect and translate voluntary muscle activity.
