Ironing a shirt using Otto Bock hook prosthesis

Monday, February 8th, 2010

This is a response to touchbionics “get a grip on functionality” demo videos www.touchbionics.com and to Darin’s demos on theadventuresoftheilimb.wordpress.com I like to be able to extremely fast, extremely smoothly and without much technological overhead work through technical situations. I am using an Otto Bock movohook 2Grip 10A80 on a cable controlled arm. Doing laundry and ironing and folding clothes is something I routinely do. Grasp/pinch operations are small in extent but often fast to allow for an overall smooth course of the job. I don’t have to recharge any battery, the hook (or hand, if I use that) is ultra responsive particularly compared to some of the bionic myoelectric demos we see. — To those representatives of the Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie www.hautehorlogerie.org that visually allude to amputees with ‘fake people’ in that ill fated 2009 ad campaign I am real, authentic and if at all I wear real watches. And this is a real hot real iron that I am using here. Trust me on that. Thank you for taking note.
