Arm prosthetic device

A prosthetic limb device comprising:

• a first prosthetic limb segment comprising:
• a housing defining an exterior of the prosthetic limb segment, the housing having an input interface and an output interface, the output interface and input interface being moveable with respect to one another;
• a motorized drive disposed within the housing, the motorized drive effecting movement of at least one of the output interface or the input interface;
• a controller disposed within the housing for controlling actuation of the motorized drive;
• and
• at least one antenna in connection with the controller for transmitting and receiving signals, the at least one antenna including the housing of the prosthetic limb segment as a radiating element;
• wherein the controller is in communication with at least a second motorized drive disposed within a second housing defining an exterior of a second prosthetic limb segment to control actuation thereof, the second prosthetic limb segment being connected to the output interface or the input interface of the housing of the first prosthetic limb segment.

A prosthetic limb device comprising:

• a first prosthetic limb segment comprising:
• a housing defining an exterior of the prosthetic limb segment, the housing having a first input interface and a first output interface, the first output interface and first input interface being moveable with respect to one another;
• a motorized drive disposed within the housing, the motorized drive effecting movement of at least one of the first output interface or the first input interface with respect to the other of the first output interface or the first input interface;
• a controller disposed within the housing for controlling actuation of the motorized drive;
• a user interface integrally formed in the housing and in communication with the controller, the user interface including a status indicator for displaying information from the controller;
• and
• a flexible protective cover disposed around a portion of the housing and covering the user interface, the flexible protective cover including a translucent portion over the status indicator;
• wherein the controller is in communication with at least a second motorized drive disposed within a second housing defining an exterior of a second prosthetic limb segment, the second housing having a second input interface and a second output interface being moveable with respect to one another;
• wherein one of the second input interface and second output interface is connected to one of the first output interface and first input interface;
• and
• wherein the controller controls the second motorized drive to effect movement of at least one of the second output interface or the second input interface with respect to the other of the second output interface or the second input interface.
