Problem tatement Current tate David chwartz developed a prototype for measuring grip strength. It functions, but lacks the amenities desired for the final design. Desired tate A functioning prototype that can be used to test different types of enable devices. Device should be able to be replicated because enable is a global and open source community. Project Goals Analyze the current accepted methods of testing grip strength. The apparatus must be: Easy to Use Portable Cost Effective Repeatable Constraints Cannot disassemble or break the hand in the process of measuring grip strength. Cost of end product should cost under $200 to produce.
Customer Requirements Inexpensive, $200 should be the maximum for construction Portable Repeatable Adaptable to other prosthetic models Easy to use Continuous Data Acquisition Does not alter prosthetics or remove any pieces Test the full hand strength, an overall grip strength test versus the angle of the wrist flexion

Controller / Processor election High Level Understanding of Electronics Microprocessor Processes Data Microcontroller Control Motor Arduino Controls motor and processes data Assumptions: All controllers will be compatible with our other electronics. Users will have access to a computer with Excel or will be able to download an open source program. Analysis: Based on research and analysis we have found that Arduino is compatible with Excel. It is also easy to use, controls and processes data, and is open source.

Motor Feasibility Torque Requirements Torque requirements determined through measuring enable gauntlet length and max force exerted Due to the small sample size and uncertainty of the data, the highest value calculated was multiplied by a factor of 3 to yield our basis for holding torque _max =.79 lb*in (89 oz*in) Torque Value Max Force Gauntlet Length Calculated Torque (F*L/2) Raptor (Green) lb 2 oz 4 in 2.25 lb*in 36 oz*in Raptor (Blue) lb oz 3.4 in.8 lb*in 28.96 oz*in Raptor (Black and White w/ Whippletree) lb 3 oz Name 62.88 oz*in 4.33 in 3.93 lb*in
ervo vs. tepper Motor ervo Motor Maintains torque at high speeds Requires encoder to track position More prone to fatigue and degradation tepper Motor Higher maximum torque, but degrades faster with higher Finite number of angular positions Builtin angle sensor tepper was chosen because we do not foresee any need for the motor to move quickly, to eliminate the need for an angle sensor, and to be cost effective.

Data Collection ystems Design phase left us between these two designs: train Gauge Load Cell Finger ensors
Data Collection (Finger ensors vs train Gauge) Overview: Finger ensors train Gauge Load Cell Measure individual finger Measures accurate Can strength whole hand grip Measure Can tell if one finger is More portable than 5 Pinch applying more/less force sensors Grip than another Less expensive Less accurate especially Has higher force with whole hand grip range Harder to mount
Data Collection (Pugh Chart) FR (0.5 ) FR (0.3 ) Piezoelectric ensors train Gauge Load Cell Cost Ease of Mounting Accuracy Programmability Ease of Obtaining Force Range 0 2 4 5 3 Total 3 Criteria Conclusion: train Gauge Load Cell is the best option Datum Datum But since FR s are cost effective and easy to use this will still be tested as a backup plan.
