Abstract
This research work presents the design and construction
of thumb amputation or dysfunction a natural and functional
replacement. The proposed design incorporates a sophisticated control mechanism that interprets the EMG signals and translates them into corresponding thumb movements. A combination of 3D printing and bioengineered materials is employed to fabricate the prosthetic, ensuring a lightweight and customizable solution.
Preliminary tests with amputee subjects demonstrate promising results, indicating improved dexterity and usability. The artificial thumb prosthesis offers a novel approach to enhance the quality of
life for individuals with thumb-related impairments advancement in prosthetic technology is led to the development.
