Enhancing daily life: a prosthetic hand with finger abduction and adduction

Abstract

The human hand is a remarkable design of nature. Its complexity and dexterity go beyond imagination, combining both functionality and aesthetic appeal that enhance human creativity and daily life. Life without a hand can be mentally and physically challenging, as it affects nearly every activity. Un¬fortunately, accidents, injuries, and certain diseas¬es sometimes lead to the loss of a hand. Over the years, engineering innovations have aimed to cre¬ate smart prosthetic hands that not only restore function but also mimic the natural formation of the human hand, offering both aesthetic value and full functionality.
