Prosthetic Arm Control for Arm Amputation
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study is focused on optimizing methods for controlling upper-limb myoelectric prosthetic arms. If you are enrolled in this study you would be expected to visit one of the research sites for approximately 5 in-lab visits lasting about 4 hours. These visits are expected to happen within a 5-week period but may take longer depending on scheduling availability. During these visits you will be completing basic tasks similar to your everyday actions using a prosthetic arm that is provided for you.
