Switching Between Default And Alternative Grips; Donning Mode; Cleaning And Care - Ottobock 8E70 Serie Instrucciones De Uso

7.5 Switching between default and alternative grips

Switching between the default and alternative grip can be carried out as follows, depending on
the selected mode:
• Mode 0: program switch
• Modes 1 through 4: with another open signal after fully opening the hand
• Mode 5: co-contraction signal after fully opening the hand
The following switching mode is set on delivery of the terminal device (factory setting):
7.5.1 OPEN-OPEN/co-contraction
OPEN-OPEN
OPEN-OPEN switches between the default and alternative grips via the open electrode (pull
switch, button or similar) (mode 4). OPEN-OPEN is produced by fully opening the hand (OPEN)
followed by a brief open impulse (OPEN).
INFORMATION
When using the electric rotator with MyoRotronic 4-channel control, the musculature may only
relax until it briefly falls below the on-threshold of the bebionic hand in order to then generate
the open impulse. Fully relaxing the musculature or the elimination of the muscle signal leads to
rotation control when generating an impulse.
Co-contraction
Co-contraction is used to switch between the default and alternative grips via two electrodes
(mode 5). The co-contraction is the simultaneous and brief tensing of both muscle groups. This
reliable control of the switching mode is only possible with two good myo-signals. However, the
co-contraction cannot be used as the switching mode between the hand and hand rotation. The
settings can be configured using the "Co-contraction" button in the adjustment software.
