Introduction
The Motion Arm is the rst waterproof elbow for use with myoelectric
devices. Rated at IP67 dustproof/waterproof certication, with a
waterproof terminal device (electric hook or hand) and waterproof wrist
attached, the entire prostheses can now be submersed up to the rst
opening in the prosthetic socket.* No longer fear rainy days, washing
the car or even vigorously washing your hands.
Power comes from an internal 3000 mAhr battery, adequate for a full
day’s charge in most situations. Five LED lights on the front of the arm
indicate the level of charge left in the batteries with low battery warnings
at 20% and 15% of capacity remaining. No more guessing if you need to
charge your battery!
Please read through this User Guide. It contains important precautions
and information to get the highest performance from your prosthesis.

Special Precautions
Use caution when using this device in situations where injury to yourself
or others may occur. These include but are not limited to activities such
as driving, operating heavy machinery, or any activity where injury may
occur. Conditions such as a low or dead battery, loss of electrode contact,
or mechanical/electrical malfunction (and others) may cause the device to
behave dierently than expected. Device poses a spark risk if used around
volatile gases.
Risk Management : To minimize the risk of device damage or injury to the
user while maximizing the functions of this device, follow the instructions for
installation, and use this device as described in this manual.
A waterproof terminal device with a waterproof quick disconnect wrist must
be installed to make the elbow waterproof. Exposing the elbow to water
without a waterproof wrist installed will likely cause damage to the elbow.
Use the battery charger supplied with the elbow ONLY. Do not use generic
or other manufacturer’s chargers.
Do not remove any covers, screws, plates or any part of the elbow not
described in this manual. There are no user serviceable components within
the elbow. Removal of these covers will compromise the waterproof seal and
void the warranty.
Do not charge the elbow while wearing the prosthesis. Remove the
prosthesis before charging the device.
A Low Battery Warning will activate when the battery reaches 20% of full
capacity. The wearer should charge the elbow at this point. Once the charge
is depleted from the battery, the device will no longer function. Non-Motion
Control terminal devices may not be able to release their grasp on an object.
The Motion Arm will support 50 ft-lbs/65 Nm (22.6 kg) with the elbow in the
locked position. Forces greater than 50 lbs could damage the elbow and are
considered beyond the capabilities of the elbow. This could include but
is not limited to lifting heavy loads and/or falls onto the elbow.
In the unlikely event a serious incident occurs in relation to the use of
the device, users should seek immediate medical help and contact their
prosthetist at the earliest possible convenience. Clinicians should contact
Motion Control immediately in the event of any device failure.

Charging
When you receive the Motion Arm elbow it likely
will not have a full charge. Upon receiving the
device, it should be charged to a full charge. The
charger comes with multiple wall plugs for various
inter-national power outlets. Choose the correct
one for your area and slide it into place. Plug the charger into the outlet
and the light on the charger will glow green.
The charge port for the elbow is found on the back of the elbow. It is a
simple magnetic connection. Once the connection is made the charger
light will change to red as the elbow charges. Once the battery is fully
charged, the light will return to green. From full discharge to full charge
is usually about 3 hours.
If the charger light glows green but the elbow is not fully charged, check
the connection between the charger and the elbow. If it continues to
show green (see the battery level indicator image below), there is a fault
in the charging system.
Power On/O
The on/o button is located next to the silver screw on the front of the
elbow. To turn the power on/o, press and hold the button for about
2 seconds. When the elbow powers “on” it will beep or buzz and the 5
LEDs will sequentially ash green, then ash green to indicate the level
of charge in the battery. When the on/o button is pressed again for 2
seconds, the LEDs will light red and then sequentially ash red. Once
the last red LED is extinguished, the elbow will beep/buzz and the power
is now o.
The charge port is located on the back of
the elbow and connects with a break-away
magnetic charging plug.
The power button and red/green LED
indicator lights are located on the front
of the elbow.

Battery Level Indicator
The 5 LEDs on the front of the elbow indicate the charge level of the
battery. To activate the indicator, the arm must be turned on, the on/
o button is pressed momentarily, and the LEDs will light showing the
remaining charge. Each light represents 20% remaining charge. The
lights will go out in a few seconds.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery charge level drops to 20% of capacity 1 LED will blink
and the elbow will beep/buzz 3 times every 5 minutes. This warning can
be disabled by pressing the on/o switch momentarily. If the elbow is
turned o, and then back on, the warning will reactivate.
A critical Low Battery Warning will notify the user when the Battery is
at 15% of capacity. The elbow will beep/buzz 3 times and the LEDs will
ash red. When the battery is completely depleted the terminal device
and all components will not function.
When the Low Battery Warning goes o, the wearer should actively
begin seeking a charge for the battery. Non-Motion Control terminal
devices may not be able to release their grasp on an object when the
battery is depleted.
Adjusting Automatic Forearm Balance
The Motion Arm ML and EL have a self-contained automatic forearm
balance mechanism. This allows adjustment of the forearm lift force to
counteract the weight of the terminal device and/or an electric wrist rotator.
The forearm adjustment is found on the backside of the forearm. To
increase the lift assist for heavier terminal devices or the addition of an
electric wrist rotator, open the two wings of the adjustment screw and turn
it clockwise as if looking directly at the adjustment screw. To decrease the
forearm lift, (for example, going from a multi-articulating hand to an ETD)
turn the screw counterclockwise. A total of 10 revolutions are possible.
The screw will not turn after it reaches its limit. Do not force it further as
damage will occur. Once the adjustment has been made, be sure to return
the adjustment screw wings to their attened, locked position

The Automatic Forearm Balance (AFB) mechanism is on the bottom of the arm.
Lift the tabs and twist to adjust. A total of 10 revolutions is possible.
Elbow Electronic Adjustments
Motion Arm ML
The Motion Arm Manual Lock is designed to be a simple, lightweight,
low-cost elbow. As such, set up of the elbow is performed by a series
long and short depressions of the on/o switch. See the section,
Settings Mode (p.8) for the setting codes.
Motion Arm EL
The Motion Arm Electric Lock elbow has sophisticated electronics
including Bluetooth for communication with the iOS User Interface. For
information on downloading the Motion Arm User Interface (MAUI), see
the MAUI for iOS section (p.16). After downloading the App, you will be
prompted to view a tutorial. It is highly suggested you follow this tutorial
as it only takes 10-15 minutes.
MAUI adjustments aect only the elbow settings. Adjustment of these
settings are necessary for ease of lock/unlock of the elbow. Adjustment
of the electric wrist rotator and/or terminal device are made in each
component’s specic user interface.
Manual Lock/Unlock Override
Motion Arm EL only
The Motion Arm EL has a manual lock/
unlock override for those situations where
you may not be able to hit an unlock
trigger, or the battery is depleted, and the
elbow is locked. Behind the elbow axis,
slightly below the friction band, a slide will

lock/unlock the elbow. By pushing on the right side and sliding it to the
left, (from the patient’s perspective) the elbow will unlock. Sliding from
the left toward the right, the elbow will lock.
Mode Adjustments
Elbow Unlock: Wrist/Terminal Device Disable
The Motion Arm can be set so the Terminal Device and wrist rotator
(if installed) is disabled upon elbow unlock. This allows the wearer
to ex and extend the elbow without the fear of inadvertent opening
(or closing) of the terminal device or wrist rotation. It can also be set
to allow motion of the TD and wrist rotator while simultaneously
exing and extending the elbow.
Feedback
The elbow will beep or buzz to inform the wearer of several events.
The wearer can choose between a beep, buzz, or none by turning
o the feedback for these events.
Settings Mode—Motion Arm ML
Lacking Bluetooth communications, settings for the manual locking
elbow are made with the power switch. To enter the settings mode,
with the arm powered on, press the on/o button twice, quickly and
then hold the button on the third press. The LEDs will now dance
green. Pushing the power button once, the settings will now cycle
through as follows. Quickly pressing the power button twice enables
or disables a setting.
Exit Settings Mode the same way as entering it, push the power switch
twice quickly and hold on the third push. The LEDs will now dance red.
The settings mode will time out and exit after 5 minutes of no activity.
