Human-Computer Interaction (HCII 2024)

Abstract

The impaired mobility and limited freedom of individuals paralyzed due to spinal cord injuries or neurological illnesses present significant challenges. An innovative solution is urgently needed to provide adjustable and affordable hand prostheses. The integration of 3D printing technology has the potential to revolutionize prosthetic production with rapid prototy**, personalization, and low-cost manufacturing. Previous studies and projects have presented prototypes with limited hand movements, highlighting the need for fully functional and personalized hand prostheses. By addressing current limitations and leveraging advancements in 3D printing, this research highlights the potential of prosthetic hands to perform tasks such as removing shoes, opening lids, and zip** clothing, thus significantly improving the lives of paralyzed individuals.
