Arm prostheses

More than a replacement, your new freedom of action

Arm and hand prostheses are less common than leg prostheses, but the need and expectations are just as high. Our task is to provide you with a customized assistive device that restores freedom of movement and is also aesthetically pleasing. Because an arm prosthesis is much more than just a technical component: it must fit you perfectly, both functionally and visually.

Whether it’s a finger prosthesis, a complex upper arm prosthesis, or a custom-made shoulder disarticulation prosthesis, we work with you to develop a solution that feels like a real boost to your quality of life. To achieve this, we collaborate with leading manufacturers of prosthetic components and utilize state-of-the-art techniques combined with extensive experience.

We would also be happy to advise you on possible cost coverage.

Every prosthesis is as individual as the person wearing it. Our goal is to open up new possibilities for you with a perfectly fitting prosthesis. The gallery shows examples of a wide variety of prostheses – discreet, functional, and empowering. Many of our customers tell us that wearing an arm prosthesis is not only beneficial for everyday tasks, but also for posture, balance, and self-awareness.

Because what is often underestimated is that a prosthesis not only compensates for physical limitations, it can also prevent postural problems, for example by balancing weight in cases of uneven strain. Let yourself be inspired.

Here’s what our customers say

When my son had a serious sports accident, we were sent from the hospital to Orthopädie Scharpenberg because we needed an orthosis. We were given a very warm welcome, hardly had to wait at all, and the product was explained to us very clearly. We received excellent care in every respect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a modern arm prosthesis work?

Depending on the type of prosthesis, an arm prosthesis can function passively (without movement) or actively (with a mechanical or electrical drive). Modern systems enable grasping movements, rotation, and sensitive control, often even with muscle or sensor signals.

How long does it take to fit an arm prosthesis?

This varies from person to person. After the initial fitting, several fittings and training sessions follow, during which we incorporate your feedback. In this way, the best possible solution is created step by step.

Will the health insurance cover the costs?

In many cases, yes. We support you in communicating with your health insurance provider and assist with the application process. Our goal is to provide care that is medically sound and economically viable.

Are there cosmetic solutions that look natural?

Yes, many of our customers opt for lifelike arm prostheses with a realistic surface. These are individually color-matched and, if desired, manufactured to be very discreet.

When is an active prosthesis advisable?

If you have high functional demands such as gripping, holding, or lifting, an active prosthesis may be the right solution. We will advise you in detail on the technical options.
