SPOC prosthetic hand
BRIEF
Current prostheses often use multiple fingers to achieve a single degree of freedom (DoF) motion, which limits the functionality that can be restored to those with functional loss from limb difference.
SOLUTION
The SPOC grasper redistributes the available degrees of freedom of an existing prosthetic hand to add adduction/abduction to two pairs of conjoined fingers, instead of using four available degrees of freedom for one motion (flexion/extension).
