Résumé

In the last decades, there have been great efforts in the development of advanced polyarticulated prosthetic hands; in contrast, prosthetic wrists have drawn less interest. Nevertheless, increasing the dexterity of the wrist improves handling skills because the wrist allows the prepositioning of the hand before carrying out a task, avoiding the onset of unwanted trunk or shoulders compensatory movements and potential onset or exacerbation of articular injuries. This study presents a novel 2-degree-of-freedom prosthetic wrist module with active pronation/supination and passive elastic flexion/extension. This system is suitable to be included in hand prostheses to improve anthropomorphism and produce a more physiological motion. The first submodule within the socket is able to rotate a prosthetic hand and an external load of 3 kg at 2.6 rad/s. The second one can guarantee a range of motion of ±75° with a centering elastic torque (compliant mode) or it can keep firms grasps (fixed mode). Compliant mode is based on a Scotch-Yoke mechanism converting wrist flexion/extension into the linear motion of a crossbeam acting on compression springs, while fixed mode is achieved by means of a piston that can be engaged/disengaged. The whole module fits with anthropometry and the modular design ensures the proposed system can be used in a stand-alone way and adapted to different hand prostheses. This device is expected to favor a more physiological dexterity with respect to simpler fixed prostheses that can potentially induce harmful motion of body districts not naturally involved in the reaching and grasping tasks.
