1.4  Prosthesis Overview: Control Options

i-digits™ can access automated grips using a range of control 
options depending on the type of i-digits™ device being used.

gesture control (only available on i-digits™ quantum):
By enabling 

i-mo™ technology

, gesture control allows an auto-

mated grip to be accessed through a smooth and natural motion 
of the prosthesis in 1 of 4 directions. 

To access gesture control:

•  Device must be in full open hand mode
•  Hold arm parallel to ground (elbow bent to 90°)
•  Maintain an open signal until finger twitches
•  Move the hand (within 1 second) in direction assigned to 

desired grip

•  i-digits™ quantum will adopt the grip

Note: gesture control can also be accessed using co-contraction. 
Depending on how your clinician has set up your prosthesis for 
you.

app control:
i-digits™ can access a grip at the touch of an icon on the 

my i-

limb™ 

app, enabling all automated grips to be available. These 

are called 

quick grips™

i-digits™ will exit automated grip when icon is tapped again, or by 
selecting another grip icon.

Speed boost (not available on i-digits™ access) is adjusted using 
a simple slider bar on the 

my i-limb™

 app. This increased speed 

can provide benefits of a more responsive action, more natural 
appearance of motion and increased grip force. 

muscle control:
Triggers are specific muscle signals that you can use to instruct 
i-digits™ to activate an automated grip. There are 4 potential trig-
gers: hold open, double impulse, triple impulse and co-contrac-
tion. 

proximity control (not available on i-digits™ access):
Grip chips are small Bluetooth chips which change the function 
of the i-limb quantum hand when the hand comes close to them. 
Grip chips are programmed (and can be reprogrammed using 
the myi-limb App.

To use grip chips, make sure the i-limb hand is not connected to 
the App. The i-limb must be fully open/digits stalled open. Each 
grip chips must be at least 24” apart.

Proximity is accessed by holding the i-limb hand fully opened 
near (15 cm/ 6”) to a grip chip. Wait until the grip is accessed, 
which may take up to 3 seconds. To exit a grip accessed via prox-
imity control, give a long open signal.

Double tapping a grip chip activates the grip. Quickly tap a grip 
chip twice, just like double-clicking a computer mouse. The LED 
on the grip chip flashes once when tapping is successful. NOTE: 
a 3 second pause between each double tap is required.
