Muscle-force-based interface. The prosthesis is controlled by pulling on cables that mechanically link the tendons attached to the tunnel muscle cineplasty to a force transducer mounted to the thumb of the prosthetic hand. An artificial controller measures the tendon force produced by the muscle to operate the opening and closing of the hand. A) schematic representation of the prosthesis and the control interface, B) an early version of the prototype without a cosmetic hand glove, C) the final prototype of the prosthesis with a cosmetic hand glove. Figure modified from [46].
