  2. Background • Approximately 6,000 upper extremity amputations per year in the U.S. • 30% to 50% of upper limb prosthetic users avoid wearing their prosthetic due to its weight [1]. • Many current prosthetics are still based on designs from the 1950s [2] • Highly functional prosthetics range anywhere from $3,000 - $30,000, making them unaffordable for many amputees [3]. • . . . a modern solution is needed.

  3. Objectives Our goal is to develop a lightweight, composite upper limb prosthesis that utilizes Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wires for high force-to-weight actuation. • Prototype for trans-humeral amputees • Muscle-like fluid movement • 2 DOF (degrees-of-freedom) • No motors, linkages, gears, etc. SOLID STATE PROSTHETIC SENIOR DESIGN TEAM 2013-2014
