Figure 4 - Use the T-Cable (p/n 5030003) to operate the Utah Arm and Myolab II
Simultaneously
Note: unilateral amputees may be aided in learning to contract a
particular muscle in their remnant limb by mimicking the same
function in the sound arm, e.g., flexing the sound elbow and
contracting the biceps simultaneously in both the remnant arm and
Figure 5
the sound arm (Figure 5).
For both bilateral and unilateral
amputees, the motion of the
appropriate joint or the memory
of the lost joint motion may be
utilized to train the remnant
muscle. Remind the subject
to relax the muscles proximal
to the intended muscle
contraction.
