ABSTRACT:
An artificial hand has its finger gripper swingable about an axis which includes an angle of 30.degree. to 70.degree. with a plane normal to axis of a prosthesis connector and its fingers inclined at an acute angle to the finger carrier to provide a more natural orientation of the hand for picking up objects at pick-up surfaces located above a support surface for the object.
