Abstract
The development of prosthetic limbs with precise rotational control remains a critical challenge in the field of biomedical engineering. Traditional mechanical or motor-driven prosthetic systems often face limitations such as high energy consumption, bulkiness, and limited smoothness of movement. This study proposes a magnetically actuated rotational mechanism for prosthetic limbs, which utilizes permanent magnets and electromagnets to achieve controlled and efficient rotational motion. The proposed system enhances user comfort, reduces mechanical complexity, and improves response time compared to conventional systems. Experimental validation demonstrates that the magnetically actuated prosthetic limb achieves smooth, precise rotation with minimal power consumption. The results indicate significant potential for integrating magnetic actuation mechanisms in next-generation prosthetic devices.
