Abstract
The prosthetic hand is used to replace a missing part of a hand, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions in order to restore the normal functions of the hand. The state of the art design and development of prosthetic hands has been well studied and documented. The modern prosthetic hands which are computer-controlled via the means of electromyogram (EMG) signals are very helpful for amputees; however, they are expensive, not always available for low-income populations. This study presents a cost-effective solution for innovative design and development of a prosthetic hand for a patient who lost both hands due to the work accident. Design concepts of the prosthetic hand were successfully developed and tested. Different strategies for cost-effective design and development of the high-value added prosthetic hand are also discussed, including mass-customization and design for additive manufacturing. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
