This project is part of the Rehab HRC's funded projects and the workshop will look at how we can design and develop ExpHand, a 3D-printed upper limb prosthesis for children with below-elbow limb differences. The focus is on making sure it is practical, easy to use in real clinical settings, and genuinely helpful in supporting children’s independence in everyday life.
ExpHand is a mechanical prosthesis operated through elbow movement, allowing full finger movement so users can pick up and grasp objects. It is custom-made using simple limb measurements taken at home or in clinic, and can be adjusted in both length and width so it can grow with the child. It is also designed so fitting can often be completed in a single appointment.
