Kinetic Finger by MatBowtell

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago
In May 2015, I set out on a challenge to develop a functional finger prosthetic that would not only be revolutionary, but would be accessible to anybody on the planet- for free.
The "Kinetic finger" is a body-powered device that has no complicated moving parts, and utilizes TPE flexible hinges to allow the finger to open and close in a realistic manner.
The design is unobtrusive, allowing the "Kinetic finger" to be used under work gloves.
During trial, finger amputees were able to pick and place a wide variety of heavy and light objects, as well as play a piano and finger pick a guitar.
The "Kinetic finger" is designed to look like an accessory, similar to a watch, that can be attached and removed as the user pleases.
This is a continuous work in progress, so files will be updated over time. Please share your experiences and trials to help me to continuously improve this design.
Feel free to e-mail me at matbowtell@gmail.com for any questions or feedback.
Please see the videos attached for a demonstration of the "Kinetic finger".
This design is for evaluation purposes only. I will take no responsibility for any accidents or claims as a result of making/ distribution of this design. Thank you.
