Best Physiotherapy Practices to Support Adaptive Bionics

Getting fitted with a bionic limb is only the beginning. The real challenge is learning how to use it well. For many amputees, this means retraining muscles, reshaping movement patterns, and helping the brain form new connections. This is where physiotherapy plays a vital role. Good physiotherapy is not just about exercise. It’s about guiding […]
How Mirror Therapy Helps Train the Brain for Bionic Limb Use

When someone loses a limb, the challenge isn’t only physical. The brain itself struggles to understand what has changed. It still sends signals to the missing limb, and in many cases, it even feels like the limb is still there. This is why many amputees experience phantom sensations or phantom pain. To adapt to a […]
Teaching Bionic Control: A Step-by-Step Protocol for Clinics

Fitting a bionic hand or arm is only the first step. The real transformation begins when a patient learns how to control it. For many amputees, this process can feel overwhelming at first. Muscles that have not been used in years must be activated again. The brain must learn to send signals in a new […]
Simple Exercises That Boost Neuroplasticity in Amputee Rehab

Building Muscle Memory for Bionic Control: A Prosthetist’s Role

Getting a prosthetic hand to move is one thing. Getting it to move without thinking—smoothly, naturally, automatically—that’s something else entirely. That’s where muscle memory comes in. Muscle memory is what lets a person grab a cup without looking or button a shirt without pausing. It’s not about strength. It’s about repetition, confidence, and control. And […]
