Body-powered prosthetic arm

A body-powered prosthetic arm mountable on an arm stump of a person, comprising

• an attachment member having a receptacle end for fitting on an arm stump socket device, and a connector end,
• a forearm section having a proximal end for pivotally attaching to the connector end of the attachment member to pivot upwardly or downwardly, and a distal end, said forearm section extending downwardly and forwardly from the attachment member through a first length and then forwardly through a second length forming a bend, the second length being at an angle of about 145 degrees with respect to the first length,
• terminal device means mounted on the distal end of the forearm section and operable to selectively open or close,
• locking means responsive to movement of a cable for selectively locking and preventing pivoting of the forearm section or locking and preventing operation of the terminal device means,
• first cable means coupleable to the body of the person, and moveable when the body is moved to thereby cause selective locking of the locking means, and
• second cable means coupleable to the body of the person, and to the forearm section and terminal device means, said second cable means being moveable when the body is moved to thereby cause the forearm section to pivot if the terminal device means is locked, and to cause the terminal device means to operate if the forearm section is locked.
