I build and fit orthotics and prosthetics…this is mainly just a marketing gimmick. The myoelectric sensors that feed the data to the terminal device are built into the socket of the prosthetic. There’s no real reason to wear the socket without the hand, and you can’t operate the hand without the socket.

The hard connections from the end of the socket and the hand are very durable, and they typically don’t really have any issues with wear. I don’t think fidelity is a big issue because there’s not a ton of information being transferred, the myoelectric sensors haven’t really changed a bunch in the last 40 years and the amount of information being sent is minimal.

The biggest downside I foresee is that if you had different terminal devices, you’re probably going to have to pair them to the socket whenever you want to switch. When the traditional hard connection is just plug and play. That and you are just adding extra things to break in devices that are built to take a beating.

You are treating this as if it were a dip, when in reality this is more than likely the beginning of a recession. The last time we had a real recession it took the market nearly 2 years to hit the ground bottom.

You are going to have plenty of time to buy low, nothing is going to be shooting up quickly unless tariffs return back to normal.

Now is not the time to buy… Dont try and catch a falling knife. Let it hit the floor before you decide to pick it up. Tariffs will take weeks until they really start curbing consumer spending, we have a long ways to go.
