With a steering aid for bicycles, most children can learn to cycle despite an arm or hand deformity. The custom-made tool compensates for the lack of arm length and restores a proper ability to guide or steer. A steering aid can basically be mounted on any bicycle, balance bike or tricycle.

The aid can be fixed to any standard handlebar using a special clamping device. The fist-like handlebar fixation is connected to the shaft via a rod. The shaft is made of silicone and individually adapted to the user's residual limb.

An eating aid offers the option of holding utensils such as a fork or spoon. The use of a universal adapter means that different utensils can be used and easily exchanged.

The position of the eating aid is adjusted on the user's residual limb so that guiding the cutlery to the mouth works without any problems. Nevertheless, we recommend additional physiotherapy to train the use of the aid in everyday life.

A silicone writing aid allows you to guide pens safely. Thanks to the elastic material properties, pins with different diameters can be used. Of course, there are also writing aids for typing on a PC keyboard.

As a rule, patients are mainly provided with a writing aid if there is a deformity on both the left and the right hand. As soon as only one side is affected, the remaining healthy hand is normally used for writing or painting.

Enya wanted to learn violin as a very little girl. Because she has dysmelia on her left arm, it was impossible for her to hold the violin bow. We have created a stylish violin aid for Enya – in purple and pink with an integrated clef symbol.

In principle, we can build a suitable aid for every musical instrument that can be adapted to the user’s hand or stump. In this way, even children, adolescents and adults with dysmelia or amputation can play or learn an instrument.

Of course, depending on the instrument, certain physical conditions must be present on the affected arm. In most cases, the musician's aid takes over a holding function (e.g. of the drumstick or the violin bow). If only a single finger needs to be compensated, the music aid can also be used to perform more demanding functions on the instrument, such as pressing a key.

At our MusikCamp, we showed children and young people with amputations or hand deformities how they can play instruments despite their physical limitations. How does that work? With individually adapted music-making aids, which our orthopedic technicians made for the children in a very short time. Afterwards, the participants of the Music Camp had three days to test their instruments to their heart's content with the new aid.
