The finger root knuckle 30-1 includes a finger root first driving member 311, a finger root second driving member 312 and a finger root sleeve 313, a fastening screw plate 314 and a fastening screw 315. The finger root sleeve 313 is an annular structure, and the top is connected to the finger root second driving member 312. Specifically, the lower end of the finger root sleeve 313 is a circular ring, which is used to insert the patient's defective finger root into it to drive the finger component to move. The circular ring has a boss at the upper end, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the boss. The fastening screw 315 passes through the middle-end closed groove 3124, the through hole on the boss of the finger root sleeve 313 and is fixed to the fastening screw plate 314, so that the finger root sleeve 313 is fixed on the bottom surface of the second driving member 312 of the finger root. By loosening the fastening screw 315, the finger root sleeve 313 can slide back and forth along the middle-end closed groove 3124 to adjust the position of the finger root sleeve 313. After the position is determined, the fastening screw 315 can be tightened to fix it.

[0024] The utility model improves the structure of the finger root sleeve 313 on the basis of the prior application, as shown in the attached Figure 2 , 3As shown, the follower bionic artificial finger includes a wrist fixing component 10, at least one finger rotation component 20 and at least one finger component 30, the finger component 30 is composed of a finger root knuckle 30-1, a middle knuckle 30-2, and a finger tip knuckle 30-3; the finger root sleeve component 4 is fixedly connected to the finger root knuckle 30-1, and the finger root sleeve component 4 includes a connecting support 41 and at least one finger sleeve 42, the connecting support 41 is connected to the finger root knuckle 30-1, and the finger sleeve 42 is arranged on the side of the connecting support 41, and can be arranged on only one (attached Figure 2 ), or one side can be provided with a (attached Figure 3 ).
