A five fingered spring loaded tendon driven hand prosthesis was developed.
The hand which was developed with low cost materials and reliable methods has shown satisfactory results.The current design can undergo further design modifications and can be made into much more sophisticated model in all aspects. With the addition of more number of motors and tendons the functionality of the whole system can be increased by increasing the number of active motions. The EMG circuitry which shown less noise immunity, can be made more immune with the use of proper shielding wires and proper electrodes

As DOF increases, the complexity also increases Complexity increased by increase in the number of actuators
Single DOF robotic hands are also available

•Spring loaded hinge mechanism •Integrated distal and middle phalanges•Thickness of 0.6mm for spring element[1] and 0.8mm for spring element [2]•PIP joint of forefinger activates y axis motion•MCP joint of thumb activates x axis motion
• Five fingered hand with 2 DOF•Tendon driven mechanism• Has mainly two types of motion:
•Active and•Passive
•Made from cheap materials• Provision for increasing the DOF•Can be used as an universal hand
