The lift lock: a device to increase the lifting ability of dual-control prostheses.
Preliminary results obtained from limited use by one amputee along with previous laboratory trials on other amputees indicate that the lift-lock principle can improve the operation of above-elbow prostheses which are body powered. A wider evaluation will be necessary to determine its full worth.
