PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF MODERN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES ON THE EXAMPLE OF CREATING A DYNAMIC MODEL OF PROSTHETIC HAND

Abstract

The article deals with the algorithm of the automated design of the upper
limb mechanical prosthesis with the use of the modern computer-aided design
system Autodesk Fusion 360. The main goal of recent world developments is the desire to
embody all the functions of a living arm or leg in a prosthesis. The vast majority of people
can only afford cosmetic prostheses, which not only do not restore the functions of the
human hand but are most often unaesthetic due to unfair execution. The prosthetics of
people with amputated limbs are an important part of medical and social rehabilitation.
Improving the quality of the prosthesis leads to a more comfortable life for the patient,
the development is aimed at increasing the capabilities of the prosthesis of the human
hand. Modeling the dynamic characteristics of prostheses for various purposes at the
design stage is an urgent task for designers: it allows to determine how effectively the
designed prosthesis will function in real conditions and take corrective action if necessary
to ensure correct operation, strength, and durability. The created three-dimensional
parametric dynamic model of the prosthetic arm can be used in the manufacture of modern
prostheses.
