Abstract
Designers of arm prosthesis control mechanisms have generally been guided by a designer´s previous experience and his or her innovative thinking. In this paper, a design strategy guided by some theoretical control concepts and physiological knowledge is described. A preliminary design based on this strategy is proposed. However, as Stephen Toulmin has pointed out, “Theory has to answer to the high court of practice.” Our laboratory still has limited clinical experience and practice with this design procedure
