Harness and Control Systems Below Elbow
Harness and control systems are integral components in assistive technology and prosthetics. Below-elbow harnessing, commonly used in upper limb prosthetics, is crucial for controlling prosthetic devices for individuals with below-elbow amputations. These systems enhance functionality, mobility, and ease in performing daily tasks.
