Resumen: A man's hand is a wonderful tool, capable of executing numberless tasks thanks to its main role: hand grip. The present study shows a parametric an-thropomorphic hand design that performs basic movements such as cylin-drical, pointed, hook, palmar, spherical, and lateral, prehensile grip. This prototype proposes a hand that is customizable to different measurements by an inverse phalange bar mechanism that adapts to specific needs finding prosthesis custom solutions for handicapped people with upper limb am-putation. To achieve this a goniometric and anthropometric study of the hand was needed so that the prosthesis shows as many esthetic details as possible without affecting its functioning, improving the user's quality style at a low cost. For this prototype, the tools CAD-CAE were used along with fast 3D printing. The applied methodology was theoretical as the logi-cal history, analysis, synthesis, modeling, and empirical. The observed re-sults showed that this hand prosthesis adapts to half the study population and it has precision as a priority instead of movement strength.
