Human Hand Anatomy-Based Prosthetic Hand

Hand Anatomy

The anatomy of human hand is quite unique and includes the configuration of bones, joints, veins and muscles. The physiological interconnection and structure of these parts are responsible for the structure of the human hand. The functional area of hand includes the five fingers, palm and the wrist. Amongst a number of biometric modalities that are used for human identification, hand-based moda...

Prosthetic Hand Control

This paper presents a five-fingered underactuated prosthetic hand controlled by surface electromyographic (EMG) signals. The prosthetic hand control part is based on an EMG motion pattern classifier which combines variable learning rate (VLR) based neural network with parametric Autoregressive (AR) model and wavelet transform. This motion pattern classifier can successfully identify flexion and...

Human Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
