Upper limb prosthetics are medical equipment that are designed to replace the upper limbs of the arms, hands, wrists, and fingers of individuals who have lost them due to injury, illness, or congenital disabilities. These prosthetic devices are intended to help restore function and independence to the user, allowing them to do activities they may have previously been unable to perform or complete. They range from simple to complex, depending on the level of functionality desired. For instance, simple prosthetics provide basic gripping and grasping capabilities, while more complex prosthetics are computerized and capable of performing complex tasks. Additionally, they consist of an artificial limb, socket, harness, and an interface and control system that allows the user to control and manipulate the prosthetic. Moreover, depending on the patient’s needs, they may include additional components, such as specialized tools and software. The most common types of upper limb prosthetics are myoelectric prosthetics, body-powered prosthetics, and passive prosthetics.
