Mechanical evaluation of the “Hüfner hand” prosthesis
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 2020 Background: Current body-powered hands have very low acceptance rates. They also require high activation forces. In the past, a high acceptance rate was reported for the then-available Hüfner hand, a hand which could be controlled by relatively low activation forces.
