Khan}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Above Elbow Prosthesis is one of the most commonly amputated or missing limbs. The research is done for modelling techniques of upper limb prosthesis and design of high torque, light weight and compact in size elbow actuator. The purposed actuator consists of a DC motor, planetary gear set and a harmonic drive. The calculations show that the actuator is good enough to be used in real life powered prosthetic upper limb or rehabilitation exoskeleton.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {11}, year = {2011}, pages = {2111 - 2114}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/5754}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/59}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 59, 2011}, }
