Abstract :This design study investigates a Prosthetic Wrist Unit for upper limb amputations using the Design Thinking methodology. It covers Problem Definition, Information Gathering, Concept Generation and Evaluation, Product Architecture, Configuration Design, Parametric Design, Detail Design, and Production. The study aims to create a small prosthetic wrist unit (50 mm diameter, 50 mm length, less than 125 gr), provides 360° rotation, connects easily with prosthetic hands, enables electric and data transfer, and is controllable via EMG sensors. This research contributes to prosthetic product design, enhancing the quality of life for amputees.Keywords : Protez, Bilek Ünitesi, Ampütasyon
