Hand prosthesis simulation developped in the virtual instrumentation technique

The present study proposes an artificial upper limb prosthesis simulation that combines elements of electric engineering (sensors, data acquisition / transfer, servo-motors) and virtual instruments programming technique (LabVIEW). Since we are in the process of working on a prototype of the prosthesis, the paper presents a model that enables the movement of a single phalanx, operated by a LabVIEW program. This program controls the servo-motor rotation, by using the data acquired by the Arduino board.
