Abstract

This document expresses a mechatronic design proposal for a transhumeral prosthesis, including flexo extension in the elbow joint, flexo extension and radial-ulnar deviation in the wrist joint and pronation supination of the forearm, solid models are presented that will perform arch of the movements expressed above.
