“…These prostheses are commonly manufactured with silicone or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride and offer advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, realism, and price. Among the active prostheses are the mechanical prostheses (Loaiza and Arzola, 2011;Torres-SanMiguel, 2022), which are devices that are used to control closing or opening at any time, thus partially recovering the functionality of the hand.…”

Nowadays, engineering has attempted to find a way to replace the loss of human limbs with unnatural devices that approximate their actual function. Current devices vary from hooks, mechanical prostheses, or simply cosmetic prostheses, where an important component when deciding which one to use is the cost of it, even above functionality. The aim of this article is the development of a mechanical prototype for partial hand prosthesis for patients who have suffered partial (middle and distal phalanges) or total (proximal, middle, and distal phalanges) finger mutilation. The results of this work show that the mechanism and the proposed design of the prosthesis are satisfactory to simulate the movement of a human finger, while the finite element analysis shows that the proposed design can adequately support the loads for extreme conditions.

Background A prosthetic leg is not a counterfeit appendage but rather than an artificial limb, that is connected where the leg has been excised due to an injury accident, sickness, or other medical reasons. Presently, prosthetics offer an option for people with an amputee to enable them living in a conventional life. Prosthetic legs can vary in complexity and design depending on the level of amputation, needs and goals of the individual as well as their lifestyle and activities. Research Design and Methods: In this study, we aimed to develop a structural design and analysis of below knee prosthetic leg that can provide adequate support and mobility to amputees. The 3D experience software Solidworks is used for structural design of the prosthetic and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is employed to simulate the performance under various loading conditions. Results The analytical result demonstrates the functionality of the prosthetic leg and highlights the safety measure of the body structure that meets high standards of performance, durability, and regulatory compliance. Limitations: The design and drafting of the model is done only in silico (computer) methods. Further, static analysis of the prototype model is evaluated using Solidworks simulation (version 2016). Actual analysis (real-life analysis) of the prototype is not structured in this paper. Conclusion This study represents a modern generation and approvingly operational pneumatic prosthetic leg. Technological evolution has led to the development of more advanced prosthetics to improve the human mankind who have amputees.
