Abstract
The evolution of conventional upper limb prostheses has been, for years, incorporating numerous technologies, mainly in the areas of robotics, signal processing, and additive manufacturing (AM), using new materials and construction methods, currently having a large focus on prostheses bionics, which work using sensors on the skin or connected to the muscle, capturing the electrical pulses produced by muscle contraction and transforming them into signals for moving the prosthesis, through complex circuits and electronics embedded in its operating system, which makes this process viable. Despite the development, many are still not able to satisfactorily and organically repro-duce the movements of a human hand, not fulfilling its essential function to improve/restore user’s motor skills, requiring more and more improvement in these types of equipment. Thus, this article aims to present a literature review on bionic prostheses from 2001, providing the main constructive characteristics for development, analyzing the material, signal processing, and the results achieved in this context, in addition to innovative points and evolutionary over the years, providing a basis for deepening the theme. The results show state-of-the-art literature articles on bionic prostheses, taking into account the search markers used (“Bionic prosthesis”, “Hand” and “Three-dimensional printing”) and the consulted platforms (Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science). It was concluded, among other points, that the development of bionic prostheses needs extreme deepening and discussion, with several fields for potential exploration and development of future research in the area of materials, applied robotics, printing by additive manufacturing, and signal processing, especially when analyzed on the aspects of myoelectric signals (EMG), having great relevance in the social context, as it helps in the development of more accurate prostheses, capable of providing better adaptability, functionality and more complete movement resumption for the user, the which enables the performance of various daily and work activities, contributing to the integration of the individual in society.
