The bond graph approach is used to model a hand prosthesis system, which is quite large to represent conveniently using either single or multibond graphs. This is usually the case with modeling biomechanical systems. To facilitate compact modeling of this system, the concept of Word Bond Graphs is applied to represent component subsystems as Objects. Such Word Bond Graph Objects (WBGO) are compact representations of subsystems, within the overall system, and have a well defined structure. They preserve an understanding of the physical system while facilitating quick and easy programming for numerical simulations due to their object oriented structure. WBGO identified and analyzed here for the hand prosthesis system include rigid finger link dynamics, translational and rotational coupling between two consecutive finger links, and string-tube mechanics for passive prosthetic joint actuation by natural active joints. The bond graph details for each WBGO have been presented together with a derivation of their system equations. The WBGO are then used to integrate a complete assembly of the dynamics of the hand prosthesis system.
