Myoelectric
Bionic hand control
Surface electrodes inside the socket read muscle signals so the hand can open, close and switch grip patterns without a shoulder harness.

Losing a hand below the elbow or above the elbow changes work, independence, social confidence and body image. We map your residual limb, muscle control, daily tasks, budget and appearance goals before recommending a myoelectric, cosmetic, body-powered or hybrid system.
The goal is not just to wear an artificial hand. The goal is to use it comfortably in real life.
Surface electrodes inside the socket read muscle signals so the hand can open, close and switch grip patterns without a shoulder harness.
Custom-moulded silicone restores natural shape, skin tone and confidence for meetings, family functions and daily public life.
A body-powered elbow can be paired with a myoelectric hand when above-elbow users need both durability and functional grip.
Our physiotherapy team trains donning, doffing, EMG control, grip switching and practical tasks like eating, typing and using a phone.

Book an Assessment — We'll Diagnose It in Your First SessionA compact guide for Indian patients searching for bionic hand prosthesis in Hyderabad, myoelectric hand prosthesis options, below-elbow prosthetic hand fitting and clinical training support.
A myoelectric hand prosthesis uses small sensors inside the socket to detect muscle signals from the residual limb and convert them into hand or finger movement.
A bionic or myoelectric prosthetic hand may suit below-elbow, wrist disarticulation and some partial-hand users, but suitability must be tested clinically.
The cost of a bionic hand prosthesis reflects the technology, customization, imported components, service support and clinical training required to make it useful.
We do not prescribe the most expensive hand by default. We match the prosthesis to your limb, muscle signals, lifestyle, posture, function and support needs.
Use this comparison as a planning guide. The right choice depends on residual-limb length, EMG control, daily tasks, cosmetic goals and budget.
| Decision point | Myoelectric (Bionic) | Cosmetic Silicone | Body-Powered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Professionals, students and active daily life | Social confidence and natural appearance | Heavy, repetitive manual work |
| Below-elbow fit | Motorised fingers, proportional grip control and no harness | Natural shape and skin tone with a very light passive hand | Cable-operated hand or hook with high durability |
| Above-elbow fit | Needs elbow plus hand control, so training and component choice are more complex | Full-arm silicone restoration with passive elbow positioning | Cable system with shoulder harness and reliable work grip |
| Function | Active grasp, pinch, hold and type | Passive support and light object holding | Strong reliable grip |
| Indicative cost | Rs 1.5L - Rs 5L+ depending on hand | Rs 35K - Rs 1.2L | Rs 40K - Rs 1.5L |
| Maintenance | Battery, charger and glove care | Very low; silicone cleaning and care | Low; periodic cable changes |
Costs are indicative planning ranges only. Your exact estimate is confirmed at consultation after socket design, limb level and components are finalised.
DakshinRehab is brand-neutral: we prescribe on function, residual-limb length, budget and lifestyle, not brand commission.
A structured assessment-to-training pathway keeps prosthetic fitting, socket comfort and real-world use in the same clinical team.
We assess residual-limb length, skin condition, muscle strength, phantom pain, work needs, driving, typing, social goals and preferred appearance.

After delivery, the physiotherapy team trains control, grip patterns and daily tasks, then reviews socket fit at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and as needed.

| Model | Grip patterns | Best for | Indicative cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ottobock bebionic | 14 grips | Professionals and students | Rs 3.5L - Rs 5L |
| Ottobock Michelangelo | 7 grips, auto-adaptive | Advanced function and comfort | Rs 5L - Rs 7L |
| Vincent Evolution 3 | 15 grips, IP68 option | Active life and wet environments | Rs 4L - Rs 6L |
| Fillauer / Motion Control | 10 grips, pattern recognition | Fine control and heavy users | Rs 4L - Rs 6.5L |
| COVVI Apex | 13 grips, app control | Tech-comfortable users | Rs 5L - Rs 8L |
| Entry-level Indian-made | Open / close | Budget and basic function | Rs 80K - Rs 1.5L |
Above-elbow patients need an elbow unit added to the hand. A complete transhumeral system can range from Rs 3L - Rs 12L depending on the elbow and hand.
A prosthetic hand becomes useful through practice. Our physiotherapy team, led by Dr. Swapnagandhi, trains EMG control, socket comfort and daily tasks.
You understand how the socket sits and how your muscles control the hand.
You begin using the hand without over-contracting or watching every movement.
You practise the exact everyday tasks that matter at home, work or college.
Most users aim for 6+ hours comfortable wear and independent basic daily tasks.
Prosthetic costs can feel daunting. We explain all costs early, support documentation and help families set realistic expectations.
We help prepare supporting documents for eligible government assistance schemes, CGHS, private insurance, charitable trusts or financing discussions.
Socket adjustments and training booster sessions during the first 12 months are included unless a new component or replacement part is required.
We offer expectation-setting, family education and, where available, peer connection with past prosthetic users who have consented to speak.
