Upper Limb Prosthetics

Prosthetic care built around what you want to do.

No two people use their hands and arms in exactly the same way. Your prosthesis shouldn't be one-size-fits-all either.

At Pivot, we work with individuals with digit, partial hand, below-elbow, above-elbow, and shoulder-level limb differences and amputations. We take the time to understand what you want from your prosthesis—whether that's getting back to work, caring for your family, returning to a hobby, improving independence, or simply having a prosthesis that looks and feels like a natural part of you.

Your options

There are more upper limb prosthetic options available today than ever before. Depending on your goals, we may recommend:

Myoelectric Prosthetics
Myoelectric prostheses use muscle signals from your residual limb to control a prosthetic hand, wrist, or elbow. Today's systems can provide multiple grip patterns and advanced functions that make everyday tasks easier.

Body-Powered Prosthetics
Simple, durable, and dependable. Body-powered prostheses use a harness and cable system to control the prosthesis through your own body movements. They're an excellent option for many work, recreational, and everyday activities.

Passive & Silicone Prosthetics
Sometimes the goal isn't powered movement. A passive prosthesis can restore appearance, provide support during two-handed activities, and help with specific tasks. We also work with highly realistic custom silicone prostheses that can be individually colored and detailed to closely match your skin.

Activity-Specific Prosthetics
Work, sports, hunting, fishing, biking, weightlifting, recreation—sometimes the best solution is a prosthesis designed for one particular activity. We enjoy finding creative solutions for the things our patients want to get back to doing.

The right prosthesis starts with the right conversation.

Technology matters, but choosing the newest or most expensive component doesn't automatically make it the best option.

We look at your limb/digits, strength, range of motion, work demands, hobbies, previous prosthetic experience, and personal goals before recommending a system. We'll talk through the advantages and tradeoffs of your options so you understand what you're getting and why.

If you've been told your options are limited, we'd be happy to take another look.
