Electromyography is a special method for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. It detects electric potential generated through human brain by movement of the muscle cells. Detected signal can be used further into usable information to drive a control system. This paper presents the techniques to design Electromyography based prototype prosthetic arm, in such a way that can imitate the actions like a real human arm. Current prosthetic devices have limited functionality and are cost prohibitive. Designing a cost effective prosthetic human hand is the major focus of this paper. The design features five individually actuated fingers in addition to movable wrist design, which is unseen in commercial products. This study will serve as a platform for future prosthesis development efforts.
