Utilizing these two pieces of information a Matlab program was developed to simulate natural finger movement. After successfully simulating natural finger movement, models of the M-Finger and X-Finger were then developed to observe their movements. All code can be seen in the appendix. Finally, a model of the prototype prosthetic was then developed for use in the final prototyping stage and for further research development. GIFs of the Matlab models are seen below.
