Abstract
Much development has been seen in commercial and laboratory prototypes of prosthetic hands during last two decades. However, prosthetic hands emulating human hand characteristics are very limited. In order to emulate human hand, performance characteristics evaluation of prosthetic hands is of paramount importance. This paper explains the performance characteristics of an EMG CoNtrolled PRosthetIC Hand called ENRICH involving end users’ feedback from clinical testing. ENRICH is a real time EMG controlled prosthetic hand that can perform grasping operations in 250 ± 1.1 milliseconds satisfying the neuromuscular constraint of human hand. The performance characteristics of ENRICH vis-à-vis commercial and laboratory prototypes are evaluated in terms of weight, size, degrees of freedom, finger joint range of motion, control strategy, operation time and clinical testing. This evaluation establishes ENRICH as one of the promising prosthetic hands with tangible benefits to amputees.
