  • Abstract
    The most favorable electrical prosthetic hands to our patients both in size and in appearance are those that fit to their age and body shape. Particularly, with such patients who have real hand, it is important to conform the size and appearance of electrical prosthetic hands to their healthy hands. It is also important to gather the information about individual hands and to apply it for making the electrical prosthetic hands at their requests. The paper investigates a series of our technological developments of prosthetic hands.
