Popis: The hand has a complex structure that allows us to perform daily living activities. When the hand is lost, hand prosthesis is used to restore the lost functions, usually, a hook is used and, in some cases, a mechanical hand. In the last few years, there has been a growth in 3D prosthetic designs since it has many benefits. We propose a method to test both the functionality and kinematic performance of a prosthesis and his/her user respectively. All types of activities performed with the hook were above 4 points on average, while depending on the type of activity the average score for the mechanical and 3D printed hand varied. The overall performance was 100\(\%\) for the hook, while for the mechanical 69\(\%\) and 3D printed hand was below 60\(\%\).
