An automated hand

A digit mounting arrangement for a prosthetic hand, the digit mounting arrangement comprising:

• a. a rigid mount configured to be located in or on a palm of the prosthetic hand;
• b. a resiliently deformable sleeve located within the rigid mount, the resiliently deformable sleeve having a sleeve aperture therein;
• and
• c. a connector located within the sleeve aperture, the connector having a digit extending therefrom, wherein the digit is configured to be moveable relative to the palm;
• the digit mounting arrangement being arranged such that the connector can rotate with respect to the mount when a force is applied to the digit extending therefrom.

A prosthetic hand comprising:

• a palm
• a plurality of rigid mounts attached to the palm;
• a plurality of resiliently deformable sleeves, each with a respective sleeve aperture therein, wherein each resiliently deformable sleeve is located within a rigid mount;
• and
• a plurality of connectors, each located within a respective sleeve aperture, each connector having a digit extending therefrom;
• wherein each connector can rotate with respect to its respective rigid mount when a force is applied to the digit extending therefrom.
