This works presents the relation for the angles of interphalanges and metacharpo-phalange joints for the index, middle, ring and little finger of human hand. These angles are determinated during a grasp movement. These relations will be used to develop a hand prosthesis with anthropomorphic movements. The main difficult found in this work was the highest numbers of degrees of freedom from the human hand. A methodology was developed to find these angles. This methodology analyzed the movement in 2-D space, and use only one digital camera and a computer. This methodology could be used for determinate these relations for prosthesis because the abduction/adduction movements was almost never applied in this kind of mechanism.
