          After the prosthetic finger was tested to see if it was functioning properly, it was tested on a load cell to determine how much force it could apply over time.

Requirements:

          Needs to contract and extend between 0-5    seconds.

          Able to produce 2-6 pounds of force.

Predicted Performance:

          The prosthetic finger will contract within 1 second, as it produces an average of 4 pounds.

Data:

          Produced 0.02 pounds of force over 20 milliseconds to contract the finger.
