Design of Hand Prostheses Based on Data Captured during Reaching to Grasp Activities of the Human Hand
نویسنده
چکیده
The design of upper limb prostheses must be done on realistic bases taking into account the present technologies and getting of the best efficiency in their use without ignoring the economical factors. In authors’ opinion, the basic idea in the prosthetic field is that the quality must be measured not only through the technical performances of the prosthetic system but mainly through the performances the wearers get in the daily use of the system. Naturalness in operation beside cosmetics have to be the major factors in choosing of a certain type of prosthesis.

Grasp analysis of a four-fingered robotic hand based on Matlab simmechanics
The structure of the human hand is a complex design comprising of various bones, joints, tendons, and muscles functioning together in order to produce the desired motion. It becomes a challenging task to develop a robotic hand replicating the capabilities of the human hand. In this paper, the analysis of the four-fingered robotic hand is carried out where the tendon wires and a spring return me...
متن کاملRelation between object properties and EMG during reaching to grasp.
In order to stably grasp an object with an artificial hand, a priori knowledge of the object's properties is a major advantage, especially to ensure subsequent manipulation of the object held by the hand. This is also true for hand prostheses: pre-shaping of the hand while approaching the object, similar to able-bodied, allows the wearer for a much faster and more intuitive way of handling and ...
متن کاملEEG Based Brain Computer Interface Hand Grasp Control: Feature Extraction Method MTCSP
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are communication systems, which enable users to send commands to computers by using brain activity only; this activity being generally measured by Electroencephalography (EEG). BCIs are generally designed according to a pattern recognition approach, i.e., by extracting features from EEG signals, and by using a classifier to identify the user’s mental state from...
