“…The advanced, low-cost prosthetic arm developed by C. O'Neill weighs 960 g. This includes a socket, but excludes the haptic feedback sensors. [6] The weight of the prosthesis developed by Andrianesis et al [1] is 350 g, including a cosmetic glove, but excluding the 180-g battery.…”

“…For some hands, basic information related to the number of actuators or the DOF was specified. Only Andrianesis [1] and Bahari [2] described their hand in more detail and specified the numbers; the remaining hands lack information related to the kinematic specifications, e.g., DOFs, ROM and possible grasp type.…”

“…Scientific papers have been published regarding research in the field of 3D-printed upper limb prostheses. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] People are developing prostheses individually, and large communities have been established. Most of the development of 3D-printed prostheses began after the establishment of the global community e-NABLE.…”

Goal: This paper aims to provide an overview with quantitative information of existing 3D-printed upper limb prostheses. We will identify the benefits and drawbacks of 3D-printed devices to enable improvement of current devices based on the demands of prostheses users. Methods: A review was performed using Scopus, Web of Science and websites related to 3D-printing. Quantitative information on the mechanical and kinematic specifications and 3D-printing technology used was extracted from the papers and websites. Results: The overview (58 devices) provides the general specifications, the mechanical and kinematic specifications of the devices and information regarding the 3D-printing technology used for hands. The overview shows prostheses for all different upper limb amputation levels with different types of control and a maximum material cost of $500. Conclusion: A large range of various prostheses have been 3D-printed, of which the majority are used by children. Evidence with respect to the user acceptance, functionality and durability of the 3D-printed hands is lacking. Contrary to what is often claimed, 3D-printing is not necessarily cheap, e.g., injection moulding can be cheaper. Conversely, 3D-printing provides a promising possibility for individualization, e.g., personalized socket, colour, shape and size, without the need for adjusting the production machine. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONUpper limb deficiency is a condition in which a part of the upper limb is missing as a result of a congenital limb deficiency of as a result of an amputation. A prosthetic hand can restore some of the functions of a missing limb and help the user in performing activities of daily living. Using 3D-printing technology is one of the solutions to manufacture hand prostheses. This overview provides information about the general, mechanical and kinematic specifications of all the devices and it provides the information about the 3D-printing technology used to print the hands.

“…Niola et al 4 proposed an underactuated tendon-driven mechanical hand of five fingers. Andrianesis et al 5 developed a multifunctional prosthetic hand with shape-memory alloy actuators, which used tendon-driven underactuated mechanism to provide the necessary dexterity. Ma et al 6 presented a minimalist, four-finger hand comprising two pairs of tendon driven.…”

The characteristic features of underactuated finger are compact structure, large grasping force, and simple operation. It has a wide application prospect in the fields of industrial robot, humanoid robot, human artificial limb, and space robot. A new type of fully rotating joint linkage-based underactuated mechanism is proposed, and a new method based on the law of minimum resistance is presented to realize the equivalent mechanism at different contact conditions of the finger and the kinematical analysis based on the equivalent mechanism. The kinematic equations and the limit moving position of the mechanism are derived using the proposed method. Finally, the numerical simulation is carried out by MATLAB program. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified. The simulation results show that the proposed mechanism has a large grasp space and can achieve good grasp trajectory.
