Prosthetics”, this paper seeks to consolidate knowledge and propose a methodology that combines the device, the prosthesis, with the design and user experience of the amputee. Centered on active myoelectric prosthetics for upper limb amputees, specifically transradial protheses, the investigation explores the compatibility of prostheses, clothes, and technology. Textile materials and 3D printing show promise for cost reduction and personalizing aesthetics and design. This potential solution aims to encourage the everyday use of prosthetics, promote social inclusion, and enhance the accessibility of the devices.
