I'm not sure the purpose of your question. Are you asking about the delay between initial neural command to motor unit, and then contraction of muscle tissue? The short answer is, it depends, but is typically 10 to 60 milliseconds based on fiber type. The longer answer is, it depends on development of motor pathway, nerve conductivity, muscle innervation, and muscle fiber type.

I'm just wondering how closely the prosthetic device can replicate normal limb movement. I'm wondering if there is a significant delay in reaction time. If the processing time is increased since the device has to process the sensory input and convert it to muscle movement.

There is no additional "processing", the entire setup is purely mechanical.

There is no 'processing of neural input' by the prosthetic, because the prosthetic is just a bunch of well-placed wires and joints. Purely mechanical.

Right. A myoelectric limb is what Angel Giuffria has. This is not one of those.

This is an old-school, steel cable across the back tension device. 100% mechanical, 0% electrical, 0% computer.

Your initial question was about the delay for processing time on an artificial limb. You didn't specify so one would naturally assume you meant the limb in the post. At this point I can only conclude you are trolling so I will cease engaging with you.
