LUKE Arm System
The LUKE arm is an upper-extremity prosthesis that accommodates Transradial
through interscapulothoracic (including Shoulder Disarticulation and short
Transhumeral) amputees. The arm provides a wide range of degrees of freedom and
several control options for controlling arm movement.
The LUKE arm is available in several different configurations and the system
components used to support the arm are dependent on the arm’s configuration.
One LUKE arm system may be used at a time by an individual.
For each arm that is to be fit on a client Mobius Bionics offers all the materials,
aside from 3rd party supplied input sensors, to configure the arm system. Materials
that are typically used to fabricate sockets and fit conventional prosthetics are not
supplied by Mobius Bionics.
Depending on the client’s arm configuration you will need to order certain
components from Mobius Bionics. Prior to setting up and configuring the arm you
should review and understand the components available from Mobius Bionics.
The LUKE arm configurations and system components are described in the
following sections.
