Cover Story: To enable control of a five-finger transradial prosthetic arm and a wrist actuation system without relying on any muscles in the residual limb, the infinity-2 foot controller was designed. Simple toe clicks on two push buttons in a forefoot sleeve can gradually open and close the prosthetic arm fingers. Gradual finger actuation is crucial for fine-tuning the applied grip forces based on the fragility of the objects being gripped. The forefoot sleeve can be worn barefoot or under a shoe. Ankle movements lead to corresponding wrist movements. The proposed design of the “Persistence” arm with its compliant fingers enables individuals to perform various grips and gestures. Proof-of-concept models were manufactured and tested to validate the design decisions and characterize the strength of the arm and the speed of the wireless communication. View this paper
