- Additional information
- This project was funded by the National Science and Engineering Council of Canada and the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation. It was a collaboration with the University of Utah and the TRS Fillauer and Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. The paper demonstrates how difficult it is to control the closing force in conventional body powered prosthetic hands. It is significant as this property has not been measured before. It shows that control is difficult and tiring and so points to where significant improvements in the design of artificial hands can be made.
