Abstract
The first model of a multifunctional externally powered hand prosthesis known as the ‘Belgrade Hand Prosthesis’ was developed in the Institute ‘Mihailo Pupin’ in Belgrade in 1964, and in the course of 1966–67 an improved model was developed. The further programme of work envisages a two-year engineering and functional evaluation of the prosthesis on the patients. A detailed description of the improved mechanical solution of the ‘Belgrade Hand Prosthesis’ is given in this paper, and two variants of control logic are described.Keywords
