An upper limb prosthetic hand for transradial amputee

Abstract

An upper limb prosthetic hand for transradial amputee is described. The prosthetic hand may include a terminal device comprising a thumb and four fingers; a longitudinally extending hollow forearm shell removably coupled to the terminal device, wherein the hollow forearm shell comprises a coupling means, and wherein the coupling means is to couple the prosthetic hand with a residual stump of the amputee; and a plurality of sensors mounted on an inner surface of the hollow forearm shell at the coupling means, wherein the plurality of sensors are in contact with the residual stump of the amputee. At least one of the plurality of sensors may be configured to: monitor a muscle movement in the residual stump; and based on the monitored muscle movement in the residual stump, generate electrical signals.
