Hands Up! Aim of research
In the future, which will become more effective in healing hand injuries?
Medicine
- Biological approach -
Engineering
- Technological approach -

Hands Up! Findings of the interviews
Repairing injuries. Present state.
• Replacement of joints
• Sewing back intact limbs
• Replacement with another body-part (e.g.toes)
• Dead people as organ donors (e.g. fingers)
Medicine
Hands Up!
• Static artificial limbs
• Functional artificial limbs
• Arificial components (e.g.: bones, tendons, skin)
• Robot hands

Problems
• Functionality• Expenses
• Practicability
• Psychological effect
Even a successful artificial limb has an effectiveness of only 50%.
Limited sensitivity of sensors which are still too big.
Findings of the interviews
Hands Up!
• Functionality
• Expenses• Practicability
• Psychological effect
Long and expensive operations (10-15 hours).
Expensive materials and technologies (e.g.: kevlar, titanium).
Problems

• Practicability• Psychological effect
An artificial limb will never be a 100% substitution for a real one.
The precise control of sensors is not solved.

Hands Up! Conclusions of research
After the interviews and based on the information we got during the research, we came to the following conclusions:
- In the near future the achievements of medicine will be more effective in curing hand injuries.
- Technological inventions already have an important role (e. g. plasticware to replace bones or tendons, or operational instruments).
- In the far future technological inventions will have a more important role than medical solutions.
- There will be considerable changes in surgical technology thanks to the development of engineering technology.
