Abstract:The precise positioning design of upper limb prostheses is important for patients with upper limb disability. In this study, we propose an upper limb prosthesis with a negative pressure design. Mechanical analysis is performed to obtain the force and moment equilibrium equations. Then, the individual discipline feasible method is performed to decouple the original problem into a three-sub-discipline problem. A minimum of three shoulder straps of tension is obtained during optimization using the Isight harness … Show more
