New Delhi: Motorica is one of the top ten companies globally when it comes to the upper limb prosthetics market. It develops and manufactures upper and lower limb prosthetic devices for both adults and children, starting from the age of two. The company was founded in 2015, and has produced over 10,000 prostheses for patients from 15 countries. The company specialises in rare types of injuries and offers the widest range of hand prostheses in the world. We spoke to the COO of Motorica India, Kavinder Beniwal to better understand their offerings in the Indian market.

Motorica is providing democratic access to cutting-edge technology. Beniwal says, “For the Indian market, we’ve introduced the Nova Fortix, a more affordable yet reliable myoelectric hand prosthesis tailored to local needs. It offers intuitive muscle control, lightweight design, strong grip, load capacity up to 12 kg, and discreet customization options. Nova Fortix is ideal for users who value their own independence and place in the family and society and who seek practicality and reliability at a competitive price point.”

The Manifesto Bionic Hand

The Manifesto Bionic hand features thoughtful design such as fingertips suitable for smartphones, is fully customisable, with user-defined gestures possible through a paired smartphone app. This product is also available in the Indian market. Beniwal explains, “Motorica’s most advanced prosthetic solution also available in India is the Manifesto bionic hand, part of our bionic lineup. This device offers precise myoelectric control, strong grip functionality (up to 10 kg), 360° wrist rotation, and compatibility with smartphones and touchscreens. Users can perform a wide range of tasks such as cooking, typing, riding a bicycle, and more. While no prosthetic can fully replicate the complexity of a natural hand, our solutions come close by combining intuitive control, durability, and customization through the Motorica Start app.”

Neurotech Research

The company is also advancing research in neurotechnologies, expanding the capabilities of prosthetics. Beniwal says, “our research in neurotechnologies has led to the development of prostheses with sensory feedback. Participants in our studies can now distinguish the softness or hardness of objects and their size, while phantom pain has been reduced by up to 95 per cent. These innovations not only improve functionality but also enhance quality of life for users, enabling them to regain confidence and independence. The project is currently in the research phase, but we anticipate introducing this innovative device to the market in the near future.”
