Abstract

In this WIP exploratory study, we conducted a survey analysis of biologically inspired prosthetics designed to improve functionality for people with injuries and disabilities. The findings revealed that many more biologically inspired prosthetics have been designed for the upper body, such as hands and fingers, than for the lower body.
