We are proud to announce that the first TASKA™ Hand has been fitted in the UK by the team here at The London Prosthetic Centre! Originating from New Zealand, this multi-articulating hand is one of the first of its kind, with features including a fully waterproof rating and optimised durability.

The patient who received the TASKA Hand is a 15-year-old below-elbow amputee from Qatar, who had never previously worn a prosthesis. After having trialled other multi-articulating hands, he favoured the TASKA due to its simplicity of use, durability, and it’s sleek cosmetic appearance.
 
Our Specialist Clinical Prosthetist Abdo deemed the TASKA Hand to be the most suitable device for the patient, who he felt would likely be an active user – therefore more likely to expose his device to the elements such as water and dust. He also took into consideration the fact the patient lived outside of the UK, so by having a more durable and robust hand would require minimal trips for repairs and maintenance. 

Abdo said of the prosthesis: “Newer technologies are not always straightforward to endorse clinically. However, the TASKA Hand’s ease of use, patient-friendly features, functional outcome, durability and cosmetic presentation made its endorsement much easier. Our patient was delighted with the features and look of his new hand.”

At The London Prosthetic Centre, we pride ourselves on being able to fit our clients with a variety of multi-articulating hand solutions available to best suit their needs. The TASKA Hand is a valuable addition to our portfolio with its unique features, including:

• Patient friendly iOS and Android Apps for self-customisation
• Durable design enabling the user to lift up to 20 kgs
• Flexible, multi-articulating fingers and high-speed rotating thumb for a secure grasp
• 23 grip patterns operated via EMG (muscle) triggers, or using the low-profile grip button on the back of the hand
• IP67 waterproof rating allows it to be submerged in up to 1m of water
• Built in flexion wrist which can be locked into three positions
• Ease of assembly and set up for the clinician
• Magnetic battery pack
