This work describes the concept and the realization of a new anatomy-based measuring system to control the hand prosthesis. The innovative approach is based on the many pressure sensors embedded prosthetic socket. The socket is attached at the arm. The muscle volume in the socket is changed by contractions of muscles, which are responsible movements of hand and fingers. The change is measured with the pressure sensors. Different pressure pattern are measured with various hand gestures, which depend on the basis of the muscle arrangement on the arm. The system can control a hand prosthesis with several DOF by means of a classification of the pressure patterns to allocate the results to movement parameters. This measuring system defines a milestone in the generation change of man-machine interface for the hand prosthesis control.
