Steeper Myo Kinisi
The Myo Kinisi is a myo-electrically controlled terminal device designed for external
use by those with an upper limb absence. It is suitable for patients at levels equivalent
to transradial and more proximally, in both unilateral and bilateral applications. The
hand is available in three sizes (71/4”, 73/4” and 81/4”) and four wrist variations, to
suit a broad range of clinical presentations.
The Myo Kinisi offers an easy to control, highspeed grasp, with a strong maximum
grip force; promoting bi-manual manipulation and performing daily activities. The
device is supplied in Mode 1 ‘Dual Elec’ which provides a standard grip function and
the auto-grip feature is enabled. In combination with the Steeper Configuration
Device, the Myo Kinisi operational Mode 0-4 can be changed; threshold settings can
be manipulated and the auto-grip feature can be enabled or disabled. Dependant
on the user’s ability, the Steeper Configuration Device can be used to adjust the
parameters, including the speed and grip strength.
For optimum performance and extended capacity, it is recommended that the Myo
Kinisi is used alongside the Steeper S-Charge System and Steeper Electrodes.
A PVC hand shell encloses the inner mechanism to protect the Myo Kinisi and provide
a hand shape. Prior to providing the user with the Myo Kinisi, a Steeper cosmetic
glove must be fitted to protect the hand shell. The Elegance Plus reinforced silicone
cosmetic glove is recommended and has been designed specifically for use with the
Myo Kinisi.
