Hand amputation (and limb amputation in general) can be caused by accidents, injuries in battle and congenitally. A person whose hand is amputated may find it much more difficult to do everyday tasks and is limited in certain activities.
There have been many and varied solutions to this problem for decades, some of them simpler (like the hook we know from the pirates in the movies), and some of them more complex that remind us of things we used to see only in movies.
With the outbreak of the Swords of Iron War, the number of amputees increased and the importance of producing cheap and reliable prosthetic hands increased.
The project was done in collaboration with the “Haifa3D” association, one of the services it offers is a robotic prosthetic hand that is printed in 3D. The hand is given free of charge to any amputee who applies to the association, customized to his measurements and according to his personal needs.
Our goal in the project is to move the prosthetic hand using a bracelet that will reliably and quickly pick up the movements of the amputee’s hand muscles, all this by a system as simple and convenient as possible for everyday use.
