Design and development of EMG controlled bionic prosthesis hand

This paper suggests a new approach to an EMG controlled prosthetic hand. The biomechanical, ergonomics, electrical/electronics, hardware/software aspects of the design are described in the article. The most important objectives of this project include: simplified model of fingers and thumb, the basic functionality (especially opening and closing the hand), a simple controlling model to fulfil user’s expectations, simplified construction with a minimum number of drives, modular construction for the future expansion. The rapid prototyping was used to make selected elements of a prototype. Projekt sterowanej sygnałami EMG bionicznej protezy dłoni Słowa kluczowe: bioniczna proteza ręki, mechatronika, sterowanie EMG
