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.
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).
