Development of a lightweight and adaptable multiple-axis hand prosthesis
Abstract
The last few decades have produced significant improvements in the design of upper limb prostheses through the increasing use of technology. However the limited function exhibited by these devices remains rooted in their single degree of freedom format. Commercial myoelectric hand prostheses warrant high grip forces to ensure stable prehension due to a planar pincer movement. Hence precise and conscious effort is required on the part of the user to ensure optimum grip. Consumers have shown dissatisfaction with the status quo due to the excessive weight and poor function of existing artificial hands. Increasing the number of grasping patterns and improving the visual feedback from an object in the hand are cited as key objectives. This paper outlines the development of the six-axis Southampton-Remedi hand prosthesis that addresses these design issues by maintaining stable prehension with minimal grip force. Constraints such as modularity, anthropomorphism, and low weight and power consumption are factors that have been adhered to throughout the design process.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
