meet morph lock
morph lock is an accessory for upper limb prosthetic devices that switches
EMG electrode input on and off. It works with RFID tags. Each tag is
programmed with a lock command. When morph lock detects a tag near
the prosthesis, morph lock pauses EMG input to the hand, thereby freezing
the hand in place. Approaching a tag again resumes EMG input and unlocks
the hand.
morph lock does not remove any functionality from the prosthetic hand.
Users can continue to use traditional operation to switch functions as needed
without the use of tags.
morph lock is compatible with most hands and wrists that accept standard
analog electrodes with three-port kidney-style connectors. Examples include
the Motion Control ETD, Steeper bebionic hand and Touch Bionics i-limb
hand. If you have a question about compatibility please contact us.

component
description
morph lock includes a controller box and an antenna. The controller box
contains input cables (for battery and electrodes) and output cables (to
connect to the terminal device). The antenna is a ring that comes in different
sizes. Your antenna size depends on the lamination collar of the prosthesis.
The antenna is permanently attached to the controller box; do not try to
disconnect the antenna from the controller box.
Tags are small objects that store the lock command. When morph lock
comes close to a tag, morph lock wirelessly reads the tag and interrupts the
EMG signal to the hand. For more details on the tags and how to incorporate
them into the user’s environment, see Section 6.

Before tting the user with the prosthesis, test the prosthesis rst.
Once all the components are connected and inside the prosthesis, connect
the hand and turn the FlexCell battery system on. Wait 5 seconds. morph
lock will vibrate within 5 seconds to signal that it has received power and is
ready to use.
Tap the electrodes with your nger tip and conrm that the hand opens and
closes appropriately. If the signals are reversed (i.e. close electrode opens the
hand), connect to the hand’s software and switch the EMG signals.
Approach a tag to the wrist area of the prosthesis where the morph lock
antenna resides. morph lock will vibrate twice to indicate that it has detected
the tag and locked the hand. Tap the electrodes to conrm that the hand
does not respond to EMG. Approach another tag and morph lock will vibrate
once to indicate that it has unlocked the hand. Tap the electrodes to conrm
that the hand now responds to EMG.
Familiarize yourself with morph lock’s detection range by approaching tags
to other areas around the wrist.

using tags
Tags are small objects that store the lock command. When morph lock
comes close to a tag, morph lock wirelessly reads the tag and interrupts EMG
signals to the hand; the prosthesis becomes frozen in its current position.
To unlock the prosthesis, the user can approach any lock tag and the hand
will again respond to EMG. The user may nd this tag useful when holding
objects (i.e. beverages) to maintain a secure grip. In the locked state, the user
does not have to worry about accidentally opening or closing the hand.
The tags do not use batteries and therefore do not require periodic
maintenance or replacement. Several tags are included with your morph lock
shipment. The tags are already programmed and ready to use.
TAG SIZES
You will notice that your tags come in different sizes. Larger tags have a
longer range (1-3”) than smaller tags (<1”).
TAG VIBRATION PATTERNS
Everytime it detects a tag, morph lock vibrates to notify the user that it has
read the tag. morph lock creates different vibration patterns depending on
the mode it enters. This feedback can be very helpful for the user to know
the status of the prosthesis. The different vibration patterns are summarized
in the table below:
Condition Vibration Pattern
Prosthesis locked Two quick vibrations
Prosthesis unlocked One short vibration
Note: morph lock will also vibrate when it is powered on. Allow the device 5
seconds after power on before attempting to control the prosthesis.

Tags can be placed virtually anywhere. The user can place them in an
environment (i.e. kitchen, ofce) or carry them (i.e. in wallet, pants pocket).
We explore some strategic tag locations in this section.
Kitchen:
• Tag on the cabinet door to lock prosthesis after grabbing a plate from
the cabinet.
• Tag near the refrigerator to lock prosthesis after grabbing beverage from
the refrigerator door.
• Tag on the wall near the exit to securely carry a dish out to the dining
room.
TAG PLACEMENT
Closet:
• Tag on the closet wall to lock the hand in a closed position while sliding
the prosthetic arm through a coat sleeve.
Ofce:
• Tag at the edge of the desk to lock the hand closed over a briefcase on
the way out of the ofce.

20
The tags have a few limitations. Listed below are several tips to ensure
success with morph lock:
• Avoid attaching tags to metal surfaces: Metal can decrease the tag range.
Feel free to experiment with your user. If the tag cannot be detected on
the metal surface, move it to another surface, or add separation between
the metal and the tag.
• Place the tags at least 6” apart: If a user approaches two tags that are
close together, morph lock may not read the tag correctly. Advise your
user to add separation between tags or use smaller tags to reduce the
risk of overlap.
• Only use tags sold by IBT: There are several variations of tags on the
market. morph lock only works with a specic type of tag provided by
IBT. Contact IBT if you need additional tags.
• Sticker tags: Some of your tags may be stickers. Advise your user not to
wet these tags. Also, advise your user to avoid sticking and unsticking
the tags multiple times, as this may wear off the adhesive. You can place
these tags on slightly curved surfaces, but this may affect the range. If
you believe your tag is damaged, contact IBT for additional tags.
Carry along:
• Tag on bracelet or watch to quickly freeze prosthesis at any time.
• Tag in front pocket or pants pocket for easy access.
