Introducing the Budget-Friendly Forearm Prosthesis with Wrist & Hand, a cost-effective solution for individuals seeking a functional prosthetic limb. This prosthesis is designed for 3D printing, allowing for a personalized fit based on the user’s 3D scan.
Key Features:
-
Customizable Wrist Socket: The wrist socket is designed to be printed and adjusted according to the user’s 3D scan, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
-
Simple Pulley System: Utilizes a fishing line (recommended 0.24 mm diameter with a 17 kg breaking strain) to create a pulley system that mimics the natural movement of the wrist and hand.
-
Orthodontic Rubber Bands: Employed to simulate finger movement, providing a functional grasping mechanism.
-
Shoulder Orthosis: A basic shoulder orthosis is required to support the prosthesis and facilitate movement.
Assembly Instructions:
-
Wrist Socket: Print the wrist socket using a 3D printer and adjust it to fit the user’s wrist based on the 3D scan.
-
Pulley System: Install the fishing line through the designated channels in the wrist socket and connect it to the finger components.
-
Finger Components: Attach the orthodontic rubber bands to the finger components to enable movement.
-
Shoulder Orthosis: Fit the shoulder orthosis to the user’s shoulder to provide support and facilitate movement.
This prosthesis offers an affordable alternative to traditional prosthetics, with the added benefit of customization through 3D printing. It’s suitable for individuals seeking a functional prosthetic limb without the high costs associated with commercial options
