1. 16. Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

   Author : Konni Lindström; Vedran Zurapovic; [2018]
   Keywords : myoelectrcity; prosthetic; prosthetics; prosthesis; mechanically actuated;

   Abstract : This thesis is a development project for a myoelectric prosthetic hand. That means a mechanical hand that is controlled and actuated by the user's own muscles on the residual limb. The thesis has led to a theoretical concept of a complete prosthesis and a non-complete physical prototype that provides proof of concept and functions. READ MORE
