Popis: The design of prosthetic hands is constrained by a series of strict conditions. Despite this, many different design strategies have been explored. One particular form is the Southampton Hand system. This is a hierarchically controlled, electrically driven hand, with multiple axes, in an anthropomorphic form. This paper details the range of mechanical solutions adopted to address the conditions. It also compares them with other solutions.
