Prosthetic fingers designed for women attached to a palm base being held in someone's hand.

3D Printed Fingers for Women Veterans

To address this need for partial fingers of smaller sizes, we are creating reliable and robust ratcheting prosthetic fingers for women, children, and pediatric populations with partial hand amputations.

Biomimetic Prosthesis-Orthosis Hybrid

This project aims to evaluate and optimize an existing biomimetic prosthesis-orthosis hybrid prototype from the Biomechatronics Development Laboratory at the Anschutz Medical Campus using motion capture techniques with the Interdisciplinary Movement Science Laboratory
