After completing all of our deliverables, it developed a few other ideas that should be considered for future work. A method to create a proportional hand for individuals that do not have either upper limbs still needs to be researched. An IRB has been created to scan different human hands that will aide in a good approximation to the size of a functional and aesthetically pleasing hand based on gender and other physical features to fit a variety of human bodies. A solution to develop a method to connect each prosthetic hand to the individual based on their residual limb is still needed. Individuals each have unique residual limbs that will require further research and testing to create an efficient method to connect the hand to the residual limb. Additionally, to reduce weight further, methods should be analyzed such as testing the strength of design and materials. Furthermore, testing could be done to optimize the joints as well as the number of elastic bands. These considerations will aide in developing a seamless method in all aspects of creating and connecting each custom prosthetic hand that is pleasing to the individual.
