Abstract: The aim of developing a total prosthetic hand was to achieve hand function as near normal as possible. Since the very complex kinematics of the hand is not at all easy to copy, a compromise had to be found. The prosthetic hands are still a long way from matching the grasping and manipulation capability of their human counterparts in order to overcome this .I have designed this prosthetic hand which can manipulate most of the human hand actions in this paper I discuss about each and every part of this prosthetic hand in detail this prosthetic hand is designed in such a way that the spring responsible for the retractile action and the guide way which is used for actuation is housed within the finger itself this makes the design simpler and effective unlike other prosthetic hands this can achieve a maximum grasp and hold as like our human hand.
