Design and development of a prototype of cost-effective myoelectric prosthetic hands in Uzbekistan

This thesis is a development project for a myoelectric prosthetic hand. The development of cost-effective prosthetics is needed since users are not fully satisfied with current mechanical prosthetic hands. Many people in Uzbekistan are dissatisfied or cannot afford functional prosthetics at all. According to user feedback, the current models of myoelectric mechanically actuated prosthetic hands are not functional enough for the user, and many users choose to use a passive prosthetic instead even if they own a mechanically actuated one due to the low functionality. The price of these advanced prosthetics is also an issue, especially in Central Asia countries, Uzbekistan where the need is larger, and the economy is lower. At the end of 2021, I participated in the Startup competition which held by Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan. After 6-month acceleration program I won a $50,000 grant to implement this Startup project in Uzbekistan. Now we are workin
