Why doesn’t a prosthetic hand always do what it’s told?
Journal Article
Chadwell, A., Prince, M., Head, J., Galpin, A., Thies, S., & Kenney, L. (in press). Why doesn’t a prosthetic hand always do what it’s told?. Frontiers for Young Minds,

There are online videos which appear to show electrically-powered prosthetic hands to be nearperfect replacements for a missing hand (e.g. https://youtu.be/F_brnKz_2tI). However, for many users, the reality can be different. Prosthetic hands don’t a... Read More about Why doesn’t a prosthetic hand always do what it’s told?.
