RESTORING BALANCE: HOW A SIMPLE PROSTETHIC TRANSFORMED CAROLINE’S DAILY LIFE

Caroline was born with congenital differences in both of her hands. Over time, she relied more heavily on her right arm, which eventually led to complications in her right shoulder. This is a common challenge for individuals with limb differences: while it's widely known that using both arms or legs helps maintain physical balance, many hope they’ll avoid the consequences of compensation. Unfortunately, the body’s ability to adapt is limited — and the problem eventually surfaces.

Compensation works — but only for so long. When one side of the body is overused, it can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and long-term damage. The good news? Sometimes even a basic prosthetic system can make a meaningful difference.

When we talk about people with differences in their limbs, daily life is always shaped by limitation and adaptation. Simple tasks required complex workarounds, and every movement had to be calculated to avoid overloading the dominant limb. But once the woman began using the Lynk System, the shift was immediate — and deeply felt.

Caroline found her solution in the Lynk System by Macu4. This lightweight, functional device helped her restore balance and reduce the strain on her dominant side.

Everyday tasks became easier. During the grocery shopping, she can now carry items with both hands. Simplifying the bimanual tasks effects cooking and cleaning.

There are improvements at work as well — the ability to hold a stylus allows her to type and interact with digital tools more efficiently.

Of course, every person has unique needs. But for Caroline, the Lynk System was a turning point — helping her in finding the possible level of independence and comfort in daily life.
