The Biomechanics and Ergonomics research group has organised the 1st University Prosthetic Hands Sports Competition, with the support of the UJILab Innovació programme, coordinated by the Vice-Rector's Office for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination through the INCREA Chair.

The teams Daidalonic UPV, from the Universitat Politècnica de València, participated in the competition with two prosthesis designs, and UJI-Hand, from the Universitat Jaume I, with one design. The prostheses have been used by pilots with an amputation or congenital malformation of the upper limb in a circuit with 14 tests involving grasping objects and activities of daily living, which they have had to overcome in a maximum time of 15 minutes.

Some of the tasks in the circuit included turning over a one-and-a-half-litre bottle of water, taking a book from a shelf and placing a bookmark inside it, inserting a key into a lock and turning the key to close it, opening a jar, or carrying a weighted bag.

After completing two rounds of the circuit with each prosthesis, the winning team was UJI-Hand with 11 tests passed. Second and third place went to the Daidalonic UPV prosthesis with five and four tests passed.  
  
The event, which aimed to share and disseminate the technology applied to the design of arm prostheses being developed by students at universities, closed with a presentation of the prototypes and a round table discussion involving Antonio Pérez González, researcher at the UJI; Joaquín Cerdá Boluda, researcher at the Universitat Politècnica de València; Carla Maronda, prosthesis user, and Carlos Contreras, from Ayúdame 3D.

This activity has the collaboration of the Generalitat Valenciana and is part of the Employability and Entrepreneurship Plan of the UJI.
