Meet Emily, an unstoppable, energetic young mum and TASKA Champion.
Long story short: Emily loves how her TASKA CX looks. She told us, “I always used to wear a cosmetic, passive arm for things like family photos and my wedding. In 2024, my brother got married, and I was a bridesmaid. I wore my TASKA.”
“At 12, I sized into an adult hand, which was huge on me!” So Emily took a 15-year vacation from myoelectrics and wore a passive hand for cosmetic purposes, balance, and symmetry.
Then, when Emily became a young mum, she discovered that myoelectric hands had come a long way, and articulated fingers were now available. However, she still found them too big, unwieldy and hard to control.
“I was in occupational therapy and complained to my therapist that my hand wasn’t waterproof.” That was when her therapist told her about TASKA.
Size, however, did matter. At that time, the TASKA was not yet available in small. Emily contacted us via social media, opening the door for her to become a trialist for the small CX hand.
The waterproof feature has been a game-changer. “Feeling capable in the kitchen makes such a big difference,” Emily says. As a mum, she feels like she spends all day cooking or cleaning up after cooking. Her TASKA CX makes those tasks easier without the mess and fuss of wearing a glove.
But what she loves the most about her TASKA is how it makes her feel about herself. “Everyone always thinks it’s cool looking! Finally, the size matches my hand perfectly, and the design is feminine. It just looks right on me, in a way that past prostheses haven’t. I feel great in it.”
