The Cyberhand: on the design of a cybernetic prosthetic hand intended to be interfaced to the peripheral nervous system
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of the project described in this paper is the development of a cybernetic prosthesis, replicating as much as possible the sensory-motor capabilities of the natural hand. The human hand is not only an effective tool but also an ideal instrument to acquire information from the external environment. The development of a truly human-like artificial hand is probably the most widely known paradigm of ”bionics”. The Cyberhand Project aims to obtain a cybernetic prosthetic hand interfaced to the peripheral nervous system. In particular this paper is focused on the hand mechanisms design and it presents preliminary results in developing the three fingered anthropomorphic hand prototype and its sensory system.

Design and Experiments on a Novel Biomechatronic Hand
An “ideal” upper limb prosthesis should be perceived as part of the natural body by the amputee and should replicate sensory-motor capabilities of the amputated limb. However, such an ideal “cybernetic” prosthesis is still far from reality: current prosthetic hands are simple grippers with one or two degrees of freedom, which barely restore the capability of the thumb-index pinch. This paper de...

متن کاملDesign and Evaluation of a Magnetorheological Damper Based Prosthetic Knee
In this work, a magnetorheological (MR) damper based above-knee prosthesis is design and evaluated based on its performance in swing phase and in stance phase. Initially, a dynamic system model for swing phase of a prosthetic leg incorporating a single-axis knee with ideal MR damper was built. The dynamic properties of the damper are represented with Bingham parametric model. From Bingham model...

Involvement of the peripheral nervous system is one of the complications of multiple myeloma with a varying incidence of clinical and subclinical neuropathy in different studies. As most of the patients with multiple myeloma suffer from generalized systemic symptoms such as malaise, bone and low back pain, the clinical clues to the diagnosis of the neuropathy in its initial stages could be ...
