Globally, thousands of individuals lose limbs and struggle to access affordable, effective, and reliable prosthetics. Commercial myoelectric prosthetic hands are often priced between $20,000 and $60,000 (Delano, 2019). Current low-cost 3D-printed models lack finger mobility and grip precision, inhibiting users' independence and quality of life. This project aims to solve this issue by creating a reproducible, low-cost, and semi-myoelectric hand that is functional and affordable.
