The invention relates to a prosthetic hand, comprising a thumb element (2) and at least one finger element. The thumb element (2) can be moved relative to the at least one finger element by means of a control force (16). The thumb element (2) can be moved relative to the at least one finger element along a first trajectory in at least one first mode and along a second trajectory in at least one second mode and can be brought from the first mode into the second mode as a result of the control force (16) exceeding a first predefined limit value.
