Abstract

Hazards in industry, wars and serious medical reasons determined the increase of the number of amputations and, thus, the need for designing prosthetics that replace the missing segment by imitating its natural movements. Research in prosthetics domain became, consequently, a primary activity both for engineers and physicians. Due to structural and functional acclimation to the complexity of human activities, one of the most difficult to approach limb of the human body is the hand. This paper is aimed to design an anthropomorphic prosthetic hand controlled based on surface electromyography sensors data acquired from two important muscles: flexor pollicis longus muscle and flexor digitorum profundus muscle. Another purpose of the paper consists in providing two main functions of the prosthetic hand, prehension and fingers flexion.
