Abstract :The person who has challenges not meeting needs due to the loss of his / her physical, mental and sensorial abilities to a certain extent on account of birth or any reason is defined as `disabled` if any care or rehabilitation is required. These people have difficulty adapting to social life. Prostheses have been developed to ensure this compatibility. Today, by measuring directly from the patient, the production in place of the organ lost by the patient is carried out suitably. In this study, It was carried out to control muscle signals with EMG sensor prosthetic hand manufactured by a 3D printer. The movement of the fingers was performed by processing the signals received from the EMG sensor with a microcontroller and transmitting them to the servo motors in the form of meaningful values. Findings obtained were evaluated by comparison.
