Hook Hand Prosthetic Version1 by TeamJerlena

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

This is the first revision of a partial hand prosthetic that was designed by students from the University of Calgary. It is based on the common body-powered hook prosthetic, but adapted for 3D printing and specifically for children. The hook piece is actuated using a shoulder harness which must be created/bought separately.
The rotating piece part is a single PART file that consists of two solid bodies: rotating piece mover and rotating piece sitter. These two STL files printed separately, joined by the pin STL and a rubber band, make the end effector. This currently threads onto the hand bridge connector. The hand bridge connector connects to the gauntlet using 4 of the pin2 STL file. The gauntlet is what attaches to your arm. It currently uses velcro to secure to your arm. A cable routes through the end effector through the gauntlet and connects to a shoulder harness. See picture.
Other parts needed:
Velcro
Rubber band
cable and rope clips to hold the cable
Some form of harness (can be self-made using backpack straps)
Advice from the community is welcome.
