Similar to Ottobock’s bebionic Hand, the TASKA Hand has an anti-slip feature to help prevent losing hold of objects. However, TASKA cautions against relying on this feature. Additionally, it consumes significant battery power and is therefore best turned until it is needed.
The TASKA also offers two types of wrist connectors: The Low Profile Wrist can only be rotated manually and only to 90 degrees. Also, the hand cannot be removed by the user for this type of wrist connector; only a clinician can remove it. The QDW is TASKA’s redesigned version of the industry-standard QDW.
