Abstract

We present a prosthetic hand capable of generic grasp and pick up tasks, with an additive-removable hook that provides additional support points for easy and stable grip on a rice bowl. Tests with healthy participants and a child with congenital hand deficiency demonstrate the usability of the proposed design.
