Prosthetic Hand A prosthetic hand is an artificial device designed to replace a missing hand or part of a hand. It aims to restore some level of functionality, appearance, and comfort for individuals who have lost their natural hand due to injury, congenital conditions, or other reasons. Prosthetic hands have come a long way in terms of design, materials, and technology, offering users improved capabilities and a better quality of life. Key components and features of modern prosthetic hands include Socket: The socket is the part of the prosthetic hand that attaches to the residual limb. It's custom-made to fit the user's anatomy comfortably and securely. Wrist Unit: Some prosthetic hands include a wrist joint, allowing for rotation and better positioning of the hand for different tasks. Fingers: The fingers are the functional components of the prosthetic hand. They can be designed to move individually or together, mimicking the natural movement of a human hand. Advanced prosthetic hands can provide a wide range of gripping patterns, enabling users to perform various tasks.
