Development of an Upper Limb Active Prosthetic System for Developing Countries: Accessing the Possibilities of Mahdi Hussein Design

Samuel Edet Bassey

Abstract


The increasing demand for prosthetic devices has led to the development of better controlled prosthetic devices that do not rely on manual control but a more intuitive and automatic control in which the user can make movements with ease. In actual sense for this to happen there are some processes that occur in which muscle contraction on amputated regions are read and actions are performed with ease with the aid of microcontrollers and servo motors. There are existing prosthetic devices that addresses this need, but just a few are affordable. In accessing the affordable devices, the functionalities may be limited to just a few things. Therefore, this paper seeks to address this gap by accessing the functionalities of Mahdi Hussein prosthetic arm with the aim of improving the living conditions of amputated upper limbs persons in Africa
