LUKE Arm System
This chapter provides an overview of the LUKE arm system which includes the
socket, arm, batteries, AC Adapter, charging pad, and arm inputs and outputs.
Prior to using the LUKE arm system you must have met with your prosthetist.
During the meeting(s) the prosthetist will have performed a number of steps such as:
• design and build a custom socket to attach the arm
• pick the arm configuration and arm parts to best fit your needs
• set up and configure the arm
• allow you to test the arm system in a controlled setting
Once the prosthetist feels that you have met all demands in order to use the arm
they will allow you to use the arm. You should clearly understand how the
prosthetist has set up your arm prior to using the arm.
1
Indications for Use
The LUKE arm system consists of a prosthetic arm and accessories which are used
by a certified prosthetist to create a full upper extremity prosthesis indicated for
individuals, age 18 years and older, who have partial or full upper limb amputations
or congenital defects. The device is used to assist in activities of daily living (ADLs).
Rev 1.8 -- Use or Disclosure of Data Contained on this Page is Subject to the Restrictions on the Inside Title Page of this Document r17
Chapter 1: LUKE Arm System
LUKE Arm System
The LUKE arm system is comprised of a specific arm type and several accessories
depending on the arm type. The arm system is described below.
Do not take apart or change the arm or connected parts. This could lead to
harm.
Based on your arm’s type and setup you may not have some of the following
parts.
Note the following concerning the LUKE arm system:
• The arm is internally powered (when under battery power).
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS HARM
• The arm is designated Class II (when plugged into the AC Adapter).
• The arm and all body worn accessories are Type BF applied parts.
The IMUs have an IP57 rating. The other body worn components of the arm
system, when installed and covers are in place, have an IP52 rating. The IP
rating specifies the strength of the enclosure against solids (such as dust) and
liquids. An IP52 rating provides resistance to light rain and fine dust. An IP57
rating provides resistance to fine dust and submersion to depths of 1 m.

Arm Types
LUKE Arm System
Your LUKE arm is one of the three types listed below and shown in Figure 1. Your
prosthetist will have chosen the arm type that best fits your needs and set up the
arm for the right or left side as well as proper length.
Shoulder Configuration (SC)
This arm type is for those amputees with little or no residual limb or for those
amputees with limited movement or other restricting factors in their residual limb.
Humeral Configuration (HC)
This arm type is for those amputees with a residual limb below the shoulder but not
including the elbow.
Radial Configuration (RC)
This arm type is the shortest of the three and is for amputees with a residual limb
below the elbow.

There are two battery types used to power the arm. Which battery type is used
depends on your arm type and how your prosthetist configured the power to the
arm. The two batteries are:
Internal Battery
This battery may be used to power the SC and HC arms and is located within the
arm’s forearm. See
Depending on how your prosthetist configured your arm you may not have an
internal battery.

(Outside the Arm)
External Battery
This battery, see
Figure 3, is normally worn on a belt or in a pocket and is used in
one of two ways:
• In SC and HC arms, with an internal battery, it may be used to supplement
power to the arm.
• In RC arms and in SC and HC arms, without an internal battery, it is used
standalone to power the arm.
The external battery is used with an external battery holster to power the arm. See
External Battery Holster for more information.
Figure 3. External Battery
External Battery Holster
The external battery is mounted in a holster which in turn can be clipped to a belt or
worn in a pocket. See
the external battery is in either the vertical or horizontal position. There are two
versions of the holster; one with an ON/OFF button and power LED and one
without. For more information see

Battery Chargers and Charging Dock
There are three components used for charging the batteries: a charging pad, an AC
Adapter, and a charging dock. The AC Adapter is used with the charging dock to
charge the external battery. To charge an internal battery, the AC Adapter plugs
directly into the arm.

Chapter 1: LUKE Arm System
ACI Module
ACI (Arm Control Interface) Module
The ACI Module, see Figure 8, receives signals from user inputs (e.g., surface EMG
electrodes and pressure transducers) and sends them to the MAC which in turn
controls the arm. The ACI Module provides four user inputs and connects to the
arm.
The arm supports up to four IMU/ACI modules at a time in multiple
combinations, with a maximum of two IMUs. For example, your prosthetist
may configure the arm to support two IMU modules and two wired ACI
modules or four wired ACI modules and no IMUs.

Input and Output Control Devices
Inertial
Measurement
Unit
Surface EMG
Electrodes
The arm uses several input devices and a single output device to control the arm.
The following sections describe these devices.
IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units)
IMUs are placed on top of your shoes and command motion or grip selection by
having you tilt your foot. See
Figure 9. Example Inertial Measurement Unit
Figure 9. To install the IMUs see Installing IMUs.
LUKE Arm System
EMG (Surface EMG Electrodes)
EMGs are placed on your skin or embedded into your socket to maintain contact
against your skin. EMGs are used to read electrical signals from underlying muscle
contractions. EMGs command motion by having you contract the selected muscle.
Figure 10 shows an example of a type of EMG.
Figure 10. Example EMG
When donning the arm system, static electricity discharge to EMGs can
damage them. To minimize the chance of EMG damage, touch any metal on
the arm before touching the EMGs. If you think the EMG is not working
correctly, see
Troubleshooting the Arm.

Setting Up the Arm
This chapter provides information on how to set up the arm. Based on how your
prosthetist configured your arm, you may need to install some arm parts and then
don the arm to ensure proper fit prior to using the arm.
Topics in this chapter include:
Installing IMUs
•
• Donning (Putting On) the Arm
Before installing the arm parts and donning the arm be sure to visually inspect
all the arm parts and the arm for any sign of damage. If there is any sign of
damage, contact Technical Support. See

Contacting Technical Support.
Installing IMUs
If your arm’s control scheme calls for IMUs with shoe clips, you can install them at
this time. There are two steps to installing the IMU:
1. Attaching the IMU to the shoe clip.
2. Attaching the shoe clip to your shoe.
If you need help putting on and taking off the IMUs with shoe clips, have your
caregiver available at this time.
The IMUs have an IP57 rating. The IP rating specifies the strength of an
enclosure against solids (such as dust) and liquids. An IP57 rating provides
resistance to water at depths up to 1 m (39 inches) and resistance to fine dust.
