A myoelectric hand prosthesis is an electrically powered artificial hand designed to replace missing limb function. It mimics hand movements like gripping, pinching, or pointing by converting muscle signals from the user’s residual limb into motion, using surface electrodes and a built-in motor.
These devices are typically regulated as medical prosthetics, often requiring compliance with standards for safety, performance, and user integration. They may be supplied as standalone systems or as part of broader upper-limb prosthetic solutions, depending on clinical and functional needs.
