The Hosmer Dorrance Corporation began in 1912 when D.W. Dorrance, an amputee, invented the first split hook out of dissatisfaction with the terminal devices available at the time. Thanks to his inventive nature, he continued to solve problems he and other amputees faced, establishing Hosmer as a well respected leader in the orthotics and prosthetics industry. Beginning with simple improvements and electrical devices, Hosmer led the industry in myoelectric components and technology. In 1996, Hosmer joined the Fillauer Companies, Inc. in a concerted effort to meet the needs of their growing customer base with as many products and options as possible. Hosmer’s product line includes upper and lower extremity orthotic and prosthetic products with a specialty in hands and knees.

In 1974, a group of faculty members and researchers at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City joined forces to commercialize the medical technology developed at the University’s Center for Engineering Design. The result was the world’s most advanced prosthetic arm, the Utah Artificial Arm, and the creation of Motion Control. The Utah Arm was upgraded in 1997 to create the U2, and further upgraded in 2004 to create the U3. Microprocessors control the elbow and hand allowing the wearer to control them simultaneously. One of many technically advanced products created by Motion Control, the U3 sets the standard for all their prosthetics: a combination of superior performance, technology, and cosmetic appearance. Motion Control, Inc. is the leading U.S. manufacturer of myoelectric and externally powered prosthetic arm systems. Motion Control joined the Fillauer Companies, Inc. in 1997. They offer world-class prosthetic technology and a team of professionals working daily to make their technology even better.
