-
Optimize how you control a powered upper-limb prosthesis
This study tests new electrode configurations to improve myoelectric control for people with a below-elbow amputation using a prosthetic arm.
-
Phantom X EMG Sensor Implant for Upper-Limb Prosthesis Control
This trial tests a small implanted EMG sensor array to help people with below-elbow amputations control a myoelectric prosthetic hand.
-
Effect of EMG sensor number and placement on control of below-elbow prosthetic arms
This project will test whether changing the number and placement of myoelectric sensors helps adults with below-elbow limb absence control a prosthetic arm better while wearing a real device.
-
One-handed video game controller adapter for children with limb differences
This study is testing a new one-handed video game controller adapter to see if it helps children with limb differences enjoy and play games like Minecraft better.
-
Understanding the experiences of upper limb prosthesis users
This study is trying to understand how people who use upper limb prostheses feel about them and what affects their acceptance, to help match them with the right devices and improve their quality of life.
