Upper Limb Prosthetics (Arm & Hand Prostheses)
Custom-Fit Comfort. Confident Mobility. Designed Around You
Advanced Upper Limb Prosthetics Designed for Precision, Comfort & Control
The loss of a hand or arm affects far more than movement — it impacts independence, confidence, and daily function. At Progressive O&P, we provide custom upper limb prosthetics designed to restore functional ability while prioritizing comfort, durability, and natural appearance.
Every prosthesis is custom-designed and fabricated on-site, allowing us to maintain complete quality control and make adjustments quickly — all in one convenient location.
Personalized Upper Extremity Prosthetic Solutions
Upper limb prosthetics vary widely based on level of amputation, lifestyle demands, and functional goals. Our experienced prosthetists evaluate:
- Level of limb loss (partial hand, transradial, transhumeral, shoulder disarticulation)
- Strength & muscle control
- Occupational & recreational needs
- Cosmetic preferences
- Insurance considerations
We then design a prosthetic solution tailored specifically to your anatomy and lifestyle.
Types of Upper Limb Prosthetics We Provide
Myoelectric Prostheses
Myoelectric arms and hands use electrical signals from your muscles to control movement. These advanced systems allow for:
- Multiple grip patterns
- Improved dexterity
- Natural-looking movement
- Stronger, more controlled grasp
Ideal for individuals seeking high functionality and refined motor control.
Body-Powered Prostheses
Body-powered systems use a cable and harness mechanism to operate the prosthesis through shoulder or upper body movement. Benefits include:
- Lightweight design
- Durability
- Reliable function
- Lower maintenance
Often preferred for physically demanding work environments.
Hybrid Systems
Hybrid prostheses combine body-powered and myoelectric components to provide balance between strength, function, and control.
Cosmetic & Passive Prostheses
For individuals focused primarily on appearance and light functional assistance, cosmetic prostheses provide a realistic look with lightweight comfort.
Common Reasons for Upper Limb Prosthetic Care
We provide care for individuals experiencing limb loss due to:
- Traumatic injury
- Congenital limb difference
- Infection
- Vascular conditions
- Cancer
Regardless of the cause, our focus is restoring independence and improving quality of life.
