There are many types of artificial hands which are used EMG. Must of them are used some SEMG signals which are measured from user’s forearm. Because forearm muscles dominate hand and finger motions, from these signals we can estimate various hand motions. However, most of traditional artificial hands only can move according to estimated results, and they cannot display power with motion. So, we are trying to develop the artificial hand which can display power according to each hand motions. We made clear that EMG amplitude was related with power generated in muscle in previous studies. In this paper, we propose the new method to display grip power to the operator using a cuff.
