Touch Bionics

Touch Bionics stands at the forefront of bionic technology in upper limb prostheses with the development of their i-LIMB System, designed to increase functionality and performance of prostheses.

The first product to be available from the i-LIMB System, the Touch Bionics i-LIMB™ Hand, has individually articulating fingers, a rotating thumb and a range of grip patterns. All these features are combined in a hand that is more anatomically correct than any other hand available.

The i-LIMB Hand will be the first product available from the Touch Bionics i-LIMB System. The entire i-LIMB System, available in 2007, will be the world's first complete endoskeletal modular arm system.

The Open Prosthetics Project

Advanced Arm Dynamics is a supporter of The Open Prosthetics Project and its goal of empowering patients to return to active lifestyles by helping them meet their prosthetic needs.

The Open Prosthetics Project does not believe that "one size fits all". The project is meant to be an open source collaboration between users, designers and funders with the goal of making our creations freely available for anyone to use and build upon.

Advanced Arm Dynamics provided The Open Prosthetics Project co-founder and upper limb amputee Jonathan Kuniholm with a technologically advanced shorter prosthesis, which he uses while working on new technology and projects at his custom designed workstation.

Dartmouth Polytrauma Conference

Advanced Arm Dynamics founder John Miguelez was invited to attend the 2006 Dartmouth Polytrauma Conference, which took place from December 3 - 5 at Dartmouth University in Hanover, New Hampshire.

The first of its kind, the Dartmouth Polytrauma Conference brought together experts from multiple fields in order to consider how best to address the Polytrauma challenge, as body armor and other advances in combat care allow our servicemen to survive multiple battlefield injuries.

At present, there is no treatment or rehabilitation approach that is adequately matched to these Polytrauma patients. Although there are exceptions, current approaches are generally focused on a single problem, such as limb loss or hearing loss, and are overwhelmed by the Polytrauma patient.
