The performance of a low-cost 3D printed myoelectric prosthetic device known as the Touch Hand 4.5, at the 2020 Cybathlon competition is discussed. This device is under development as a low-cost prosthetic device for upper-limb amputees. The Touch hand team placed 13th out of 15 teams at the Cybathlon competition. By assessing the performance of the device and comparing with the performance of competitors, avenues of future research for the improvement of the Touch hand are identified.
