New treatment option for Upper Limb Amputation
Official title Clinical Evaluation of Intuitive, Bidirectional Strategies for the Control of Multi-articulated Prostheses for Upper Limb Amputation
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06886295
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The investigators propose to validate a non-invasive upper limb prosthesis capable of combining: 1) intuitive movement control through machine learning applied to myoelectric signals, and 2) vibrotactile sensory feedback in response to touch and object release events. The prosthesis is composed at the minimum of skin-surface electrodes for myoelectric signals, vibrotactile actuators, a multi-articulated and instrumented hand prosthesis and a centralized control system.
