Range Of Application - Otto Bock 9X52 Instrucciones De Uso

4 Range of Application

4.1 9X52 Linear Transducer
The 9X52 Linear Transducer is suitable for patients who cannot generate
enough muscle signal to control a myoelectric prosthesis but who want to
take advantage of the high rehabilitation value of myoelectric prostheses.
The 9X52 Linear Transducer can be used to control proportional 1-chan-
nel and 2-channel electrode controls of prosthetic components such as the
Ottobock System Electric Hand, System Electric Greifer or the Ottobock
Eletrohand 2000 (Electronic Control 9E369, 9E370 or 9E420).
A combination of Linear Transducer and MyoBock Electrodes is also possible.
By installing the Linear Transducer between the provisional socket and
the shoulder harness the patient can begin learning how to control motion
sequences during the first stages of rehabilitation and thus change more
smoothly to the permanent prosthesis. The Linear Transducer is suitable
for both right and left-sided amputees as well as double-sided amputees.
4.2 9X53 4-Step Transducer
Along with a properly configured prosthesis, the 4-Step Transducer allows
a patient to switch between different components.
5 Description
5.1 9X52 Linear Transducer
By pulling on the cable of the 9X52 Linear Transducer a proportional control
signal is created, comparable to the signal in an Ottobock MyoBock Electrode.
The Linear Transducer control signal is at 0 Volts when released; when the
Linear Transducer is pulled to the maximum, the control signal is equivalent to
that of the maximum electrode signal from an Ottobock MyoBock Electrode.
The advantages of the 9X52 Linear Transducer are:
• Control of the myoelectric prosthesis without a muscle signal or electrodes.
• DMC-control thorugh proportional outgoing signal
• Minimal construction size
• Can be laminated into socket of upper arm or forearm
