Abstract
Myoelectric prosthetic hands are necessary devices psychologically and physically for amputees. Most of these devices are very expensive, which makes them not available to everyone. This research has aimed to create a low-cost motorized prosthetic hand by using a 3D-printed material with five movable fingers. The hand mechanism finger has been based on five degrees of freedom, and three joints controlled by servo motors have been used to move it. The hand has been evaluated with 10 different gripping patterns for daily activities. The results of the grasping and movability are to be utilized as an affordable myoelectric prosthetic hand. Moreover, it is lightweight and has low cost and ease of up keeping, besides the simplicity of production.
