Tendon prosthesis of the finger(s) of the human hand with measurement of pressure force

Abstract

The application discloses a force-measuring tendon prosthesis for finger(s) of a human hand, which consists of a base band (15) connected at one end to the wrist (02) and a tendon support (06), and at the other end to a tendon (04) connected to a strain gauge measuring element (05) consisting of four tensometers (11) mounted on a compression tube (09) and in a tension tube (10), the limiter of which is an adjustment nut (13), wherein the compression tube (09) and the tension tube (10) are connected by the end of the tendon (14), while the tendon (04) enters the prosthesis housing (08) and passes through three finger segments (01) connected to each other by a flat spring (03), wherein a micro-contact (07) is located on the last finger segment (01).
