The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first available prosthetic-controlled prosthetic on the 9th. This kind of artificial limb will help people who have lost their limbs to solve many inconveniences in life, such as taking a key to open the door, eating for themselves, pulling a zipper or even brushing their teeth.
The FDA issued a statement on the same day that the prosthesis was named "DEKA Arm System", produced by DEKA, USA, and is battery-driven similar to the size and weight of a real human arm. The skeletal muscles near the human limbs will contract according to the brain's command to produce an electrical signal that is "captured" by the electrodes in the prosthesis and then "translated" into computer motion by the computer chip in the prosthesis for up to 10 actions.
However, the current prosthesis can only be used for patients with a shoulder joint, a middle arm or a middle arm of the upper arm, and a patient with a broken limb at the elbow or wrist is not available. In addition, the user does not feel touched.
The FDA said: "This innovative prosthesis provides a new option for certain types of arm amputees, which will allow some people to complete complex tasks that are not possible with existing prostheses in a manner that is closer to the natural movement of the arm." The DEKA Arm System was launched, mainly based on a study involving 36 patients from the US Department of Veterans Affairs. The study evaluated the patient's ability to perform daily tasks and self-care after installing the “DEKA Arm System†and found that 90% of them were able to open the door with keys, prepare food, eat themselves, use zippers, brush their hair, etc. These are existing prostheses. Mission impossible.
