J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(5):599–618. http://dx.doi.org/10.1692/JRRD.2011.10.0188 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.10.0188JSP Method Commercially available myoelectric prosthetic hands, including Vincent, iLimb, iLimb Pulse, Bebionic, Bebionic v2, and Michelangelo hands, were compared on: – Finger design and kinematics. – Mechanical joint coupling. – Actuation methods. Empirical findings were supplemented with published data on commercial and prototype research prosthetic hands.

Mechanical design and performance specifications of anthropomorphic prosthetic hands: A review. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(5):599–618. http://dx.doi.org/10.1692/JRRD.2011.10.0188 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.10.0188JSP Results Numerous mechanical design parameters are discussed, with examples from the literature. Crucial design trade-offs are highlighted, including: – Number of actuators and hand complexity. – Hand weight. – Grasp force.
