The Victoria Hand is a body-powered prosthesis consisting of a hand for amputee.
The Victoria Hand is a body-powered prosthesis consisting of a hand, a wrist, a limb-socket, and a harness. It has a natural appearance and is custom-made to fit each amputee. The hand allows the amputee to perform a range of activities needed. The Victoria Hand closes when activated into an adaptive grasp, allowing users to have a dynamic range of grip strength.

Design Specifications
3D scanning is used to capture the unique shape of the individual’s limb, to thereby 3D print a customized socket for that user. Full system solution includes: Hand, Wrist, Socket & Hardness Silicone is used for fingertips to prevent slipping. Rotatable Thumb: The thumb can be rotated by the user allowing it to hold various positions. This includes a one-finger pinch, a two-finger pinch, a power grasp, or a lateral grasp. Backlock Mechanism: The voluntary close (VC) model contains the back-lock mechanism and allows the user to lock the hand closed, for tasks such as carrying bags, or constant grip onto objects. Rotatable Wrist: The wrist contains a ball-and-socket mechanism that allows the user to quickly and easily change the orientation of the hand. This wrist can rotate the hand up to 360 degrees, while simultaneously being flexed or extended by 25 degrees. Adaptive Grasp: The adaptive gripping mechanism makes it easier for your fingers to catch the shape of an oddly shaped object.
There are three different arm prosthesis currently available from the Victoria Hand Project:?
Trans-radial (mid-forearm)
Trans-radial suspension (short-forearm)
Trans-humeral (mid-humerus)
