Abstract
This document describes the design process of a prototype transradial prosthesis with five degrees of freedom, which consists of five linear servomotors, two myoelectric sensors and hand design based on the 2nd part of DIN 33 402. This hand and forearm prostheses have dimensional similarity to one hand and armin normal conditions, in addition, the movement of the phalanges of the fingers meets the proportions and mobility similar to the fingers of a human hand. For the control of the device myoelectric sensors are used providing a simple use for the user. The design developed has considered all the functionality equirements in order to propose an alternative for the recovery of mobility, improving the quality of life of the user.
Keywords: Transradial prosthesis, myoelectric sensor, robotic arm.
