Belgrade hand

Worldwide, many new government initiatives were established to help in the development of externally powered, multifunctional, complete arm systems for these children. Prime among these being the Edinburgh Arm (Simpson, 1969), the Boston Arm (Mann, 1968 Mann Reimers, 1970), the Philadelphia Arm (Taylor Wirta 1970 Taylor Finley, 1974), the Wasada Hand (Kato et al., 1970), the Belgrade Hand (Razic, 1973 Stojiljkovic Saletic, 1975), the Sven Hand (Herberts et al., 1978), the Utah Arm (Jacobsen et al., 1982). 

The Philadelphia Arm of Taylor and Wirta (1970) and Taylor and Finley (1974) also never found clinical use, but like the Sven Hand found use as a research tool for multifunction control using weighted filters for the pattern recognition problem. The Belgrade hand too was never used clinically but has ended up in the robotics field in the form of the BelgradeAJSC robotic hand (Beattie et al., 1994).
