The body powered prosthetics proven that it give a pressure to the person that worn it because of the socket and the weight of the prosthetics itself. While, for the transradial prosthetics shows that the socket was well comfortable be worn by the amputee. At the same time the pressure that occurs was because of the bones Ifacture instead of the socket design and the weight of the transradail prosthetics. 

Based on this experimental view, it is proven that the new development of the transradial prosthetics had been design accordingly the need and the comfortably of the amputee. By wearing the tranradial prosthetics, the amputee does not have to worry about the training, the precaution of wearing, and the cause after wearing. 

FIGURE 32.29 A standard transradial myoelectric prosthetic interface (socket). The battery pack, wrist unit, and myoelectrodes are all fitted into a custom-made laminated prosthetic socket and forearm. The sock is hibri-caled after a mold made ftmn the amputee s residual limb. 

For the transradial (below-elbow) prosthetics, only one Bowden cable that is need usually to doing task that resolve open and close function. For the transhumeral (above -elbow) two Bowden cable required in order to give motion for the both transhumeral rotation and also transradial open and close function (Controzzi, 2008). The Bowden cable reacts as a control system where it has been attached at a few appropriate terminal fittings that anchor of the cable to the body-harness...
