Planning to make the hold force control of one hand' s orthosis, an electronic circuit was developed using the actuator electric current (direct-current motor) as feedback. Verifying the occurrence of over currente in the actuator, it is disactivated. This over chain is regulated in accordance with grip force desired. Carried through experiments the force in the artificial tendons was determined and consequently the torque. As result, the grip force control was gotten in accordance with a regulation in the electronic circuit. This work makes possible greater security for the user and equipment' s control.
