Teleoperation Experimental Comparison With Able-bodied Subjects

Amputation; Traumatic, Arm, Upper Clinical Trial

Official title: Teleoperation Experimental Comparison With Able-bodied Subjects

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the use of the semi-autonomous control algorithm (condition 1) with the standard of care myoelectric system used with the TASKA prosthetic hand (condition 2). Able bodied subjects will enroll in a laboratory based experimental session at the University of Colorado at Boulder. In a randomized order, subjects will be fitted with a by-pass prosthesis which enables the able-bodied subject to control the prosthetic hand using the myoelectric signals on their able limb. A TASKA prosthetic hand will be sensorized using the Point Touch technology. Then, the subjects will perform the ACMC outcome measure using each experimental condition. Trained observers will record the measure. Then, a direct comparison can be made both within subject performance and across subjects for the semi-autonomous control algorithm developed in Aim 2.1 and the standard of care myoelectric system used in the TASKA prosthetic hand.
