OPERATION

Your socket and harness are very important in allowing you to get
the most out of your Boston Digital Arm. The Digital Arm relies
on myoelectrodes, touch pads, switches, or a combination of
all of them. If your socket and harness do not fit well, it will be
dicult to control your Digital Arm. Factors such as weight loss,
muscle deterioration or even posture can adversely aect the
operation of the arm. If you think you’re beginning to experience
a loss of movement, contact your prosthetist to check the fit and
re-adjustment if necessary.

Your Boston Digital Arm system has been designed and built just
for you, but there are features and functions that work with every
set-up.
