Development of A Biomimetic Prosthetic Finger

Authors Info & Claims
Published:04 July 2013Publication History

ABSTRACT

The focus of this paper is on the development of a prosthetic finger prototype following a biomimetic approach. Electromyogram signals are used to actuate the prototype performing flexion-extension and abduction-adduction. Finger joints' torque are transmitted through an antagonastic tendon system. The prototype replicates the dimensions and joint range motion of the human finger.
