The invention relates to a hand prosthesis (1) comprising a chassis (2) to whichat least one finger prosthesis (3, 4, 5) is articulated, said finger prosthesisbeing swivelable about at least one swiveling axis (15) by means of a drive (6)that is connected to the finger prosthesis (3, 4, 5) via a force transmission device(10). Said force transmission device (10) is configured in such a way as to notyield to tension and to be pressure-elastic, especially flexible, between thedrive and the finger prosthesis (3, 4, 5).
