A Design of Biomimetic Prosthetic Hand

Many patients with upper limb defects desire myoelectric prosthetic hands, but they are still not used for some reasons. One of the most significant reasons is its external appearance, which has discomfort caused by structural difference between a human hand and robotic link. The structure must be based on anatomy to create more natural-looking prosthesis. This study designed biomimetic bones, ligaments, tendons, multiple muscles musculoskeletal system. We verified proposed using viscoelastic angle sensor determine whether it works like hand. also compared finger force that finger. It could capable controlling stiffness joint extensor flexor muscles, humans.
