1.3  User Selection

i-digits™ is appropriate for users with partial hand loss or 
deficiency; where the level of loss or deficiency is:

•  Distal to the wrist
•  Proximal of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint

i-digits™ is not indicated for users with:

•  cognitive impairment, such that the device is unable 

to be controlled

•  where skin integrity is insufficient to support a pros-

thetic device

1.4  Prosthesis Overview: Control Options

i-digits™ can access automated grips using a range of con-
trol options.

gesture control (i-digits™ quantum only):

By enabling 

i-mo™ technology

, gesture control allows an 

automated grip to be accessed through a smooth and nat-
ural 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 maximum 1 second) in direc-

tion assigned to desired grip

•  i-digits™ quantum will adopt the grip

Note: gesture control can also be accessed using co-con-
traction. 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 and 

biosim™

 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 also 

available on the app using a simple slider bar. This in-
creased 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 in-
struct i-digits™ to activate an automated grip. There are 
4 potential triggers: hold open, double impulse, triple im-
pulse and co-contraction.

proximity control (not available on i-digits™ access):

grip chips™

 are small Bluetooth chips which can change 

the programming of the i-digits™ when you position it near 
to the chip. The 

grip chips™

 can be positioned around the 

user’s environment in practical locations to allow access 
to the optimum grip for particular daily tasks. Individual 
grip chips can be programmed using the 

 

biosim™

 or 

my 

i-limb™

 app. Refer to i-digits user manual (MA01421) for 

further information on set up and use.
