Outline of Final Research Achievements

In December, 2015, we produced three kinds of different silicone sleeves of the thickness experimentally as a supporter made by silicone to attach to an arm. In February, 2016, we produced silicone liner for tests and silicone liner for patients experimentally as an implementation type supporter.In March, 2016, we designed the practical use-oriented, electrically powered prosthesis hand and motor unit and produced them experimentally. Finally, we carried out a two-dimensional design, a three-dimensional design, the print with the three-dimensional printer, test trial manufacture about the production of the hand.
