| Popis: | While the functionality of myoelectric prosthetic hands continues to increase, body-powered terminal devices continue to be preferred by upper-limb amputees. Until now, the ability to achieve various grasp types in an anthropomorphic hand has been exclusive to myoelectric hands. The Yale Multigrasp Prosthetic Hand, a novel anthropomorphic multi-grasp body-powered terminal device, was designed and tested for use as an upper-limb prosthesis. The functionality of the Yale Multigrasp Prosthetic Hand was evaluated through benchtop testing and a twelve-subject able-body study. One unilateral trans-radial amputee and one bilateral trans-radial amputee performed evaluation studies to determine the level of dexterity achieved with the hand. Results show comparable performance to current commercially available terminal devices on both the Box and Blocks and Southampton Hand Assessment Protocol. |
