Abstract: The aim of this paper was to make a study in the field of prosthesis, to present the long history of prostheses and the impact they have had on people with disabilities, to explain the anatomy of the skeleton of the hand and its properties. The most important aspect was by far the CAD design of a functional hand prosthesis using the Creo Parametric 5.0 program. so that it respects the aesthetic similarities with a real hand, but to ensure a space in the body of the hand for the mechanisms that will operate the fingers in compliance with the necessary calculations.
Keywords: Prosthetic arm, CAD design – Creo, biomechanics.
