Abstract
The human hands represent an intricate engineering, exquisitely to carry out a variety of tasks. Mimicking human hand is the most challenging task due to the complex structure while, considering the tasks performed by hand. Develo** hand prosthesis requires modeling of human hand and the study of its motion capabilities. A human hand model presented in this paper resembles anatomical hand, considering its restrictions and similar motions of the human hand. A 3D model of prosthetic hand that is similar to structure of an adult hand is created using CATIA software. The trajectories and motion of hand model are derived by Simscape toolbox in MATLAB environment. The deformation and strain distribution is obtained using ANSYS software to ensure that hand model will be able to withstand the load it is intended to. Thus the model ratifies for the maximum load and the deformation it would experience on the application of load.
