Since 2010, our founder and team of engineers, developers, and specialists are constantly looking at the latest updates in upper-limb prosthetics around the world and empowering industry research in order to achieve the three tenants of our mission:

1 - Build a reliable, durable, and robust product that is aesthetically pleasing.
2 - Make it waterproof to empower users to carry out everyday activities.
3 - Offer an easy, intuitive user experience that instils a sense of confidence.

That’s why we have partnered with universities and technology professionals around the world to contribute with advanced research on upper limb prosthetic devices and industry innovation.

Myoelectric hands like the TASKA Hand are controlled by the electrical signals generated by the muscles in the residual limb of an individual with upper limb difference. These electrical signals are detected by sensors placed on the skin surface and processed by a microprocessor in the prosthetic hand and translated into specific movements of the fingers and thumb.

Being able to stimulate sensor neurons and selectively articulate digits in a robust way will be a significant step in upper limb prosthesis technology and may one day be considered a normal part of the rehabilitation process.

TASKA has been working with leading international universities, facilitating field trials of innovative technology, and developing partnerships to further research into this area.

Utilising advanced myoelectric sensors combined with implanted devices that stimulate sensor nerves on the residual limb of the patient, the Institute for Integrative and Innovative Research at the University of Arkansas have developed a complete working system on a Neural-Enabled Prosthetic Hand. They have used a TASKA HandGen2 and TASKA will supply more hands for further field trials in 2024-25.
