The prototype SIMPA 3D-printed prosthetic arm for toddlers offers the first affordable and simple option for young children.

The SIMPA (Soft-Grasp Infant Myoelectric Prosthetic Arm) created by the team from the University of London relies on an armband worn on the stump that detects and translates the electrical signals generated by the muscles. Those signals are then used to control the device’s two-fingered gripper. The SIMPA was also designed to be easy to use, and can be attuned to the young wearer through a series of simple games.
