Clinical Trial Summary

Many different factors can degrade the performance of an upper limb prosthesis users control with electromyographic (EMG)-based pattern recognition control. Conventional control systems require frequent recalibration in order to achieve consistent performance which can lead to prosthetic users choosing to wear their device less. This study investigates a new adaptive pattern recognition control algorithm that retrains, rather than overwrite, the existing control system each instance users recalibrate. The study hypothesis is that such adaptive control system will lead to more satisfactory prosthesis control thus reducing the need for recalibration and increasing how often users wear their device. Participants will wear their prosthesis as they would normally at-home using each control system (adaptive and non-adaptive) for an 8-week period with an intermittent 1-week washout period (17 weeks total). Prosthetic usage will be monitored during each period in order to compare user wear time and recalibration frequency when using adaptive or non-adaptive control. Participants will also play a set of virtual games on a computer at the start (0-months), mid-point (1-months) and end (2-months) of each period that will test their ability to control prosthesis movement using each control system. Changes in user performance will be evaluated during each period and compared between the two control systems. This study will not only evaluate the effectiveness of adaptive pattern recognition control, but it will be done at-home under typical and realistic prosthetic use conditions.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Differences in prosthetic wear time We will record each instance participants turn on or off their pattern recognition device throughout the home trial. Prosthetic wear time is defined as the cumulative amount of time participants keep their pattern recognition device turned on during the course of each in-home 8-week period. We will perform a statistical analysis to compare wear time when using each type of pattern recognition control system (adaptive and non-adaptive). We will complete repeated measures analysis of variance with subject as a random factor, order of control system used as a fixed variable, and wear time as a fixed variable. We will record total prosthetic wear time during the course of each in-home 8-week period.
Secondary Differences in calibration frequency We will record each instance participants recalibrate their pattern recognition device throughout the home trial. We will perform a statistical analysis to compare the frequency of calibrations when using each control system (adaptive and non-adaptive). We will complete a repeated measures analysis of variance with subject as a random factor, order of control system used as a fixed variable, and wear time as a fixed variable. We will record calibration frequency during the course of each in-home 8-week period.
Secondary Changes in virtual game performance Participants will complete two virtual games called Simon Says and In-the-Zone using the Coapt Complete ControlRoom desktop application. Both games will test how well participants control motion of virtual objects using their pattern recognition device. We will measure their overall control performance by computing completion rate, movement time, path efficiency. We will perform a statistical analysis to compare virtual game performance when using each control system. We will complete a repeated measures analysis of variance with subject as a random factor, order of pattern recognition control system used as a fixed variable, and each performance metric as a fixed variable. Participants will complete the virtual games at the start (0-months), mid-point (1-months) and end (2-months) of each in-home 8-week period.
Secondary RIC's Orthotics Prosthetics User Survey Participants will complete the Upper Extremity Functional Status module from RIC's Orthotics Prosthetics User Survey (OPUS). The OPUS asks prosthetic users to rate the level of difficulty (from very easy to very difficult) in performing upper arm/hand functions using their pattern recognition device. Survey data will be evaluated using rating scale analysis (Rasch model). Participants will complete the OPUS at the start (0-months) and end (2-months) of each 8-week period. of each in-home 8-week period.
Secondary Prosthetic user survey Participants will complete a survey or phone interview to provide feedback on which control system they prefer between adaptive or non-adaptive. Participants will inform whether they prefer the control system they used in the first or second 8-week period. Participants will complete the survey at the end of their study participation (17 weeks).
Secondary Differences in classification accuracy Participants will be instructed to use their pattern recognition device to make a set of independent prosthesis motions and hold each motion for 3 seconds. For each motion, we will record the output motion class determined by their pattern recognition classifier every 50 ms. We will measure the performance of their classier when using each control system (adaptive and non-adaptive) by computing the classification accuracy which is defined as the number of correct classifications over the total number of classifications for each motion. We will perform a statistical analysis to compare classification accuracy when using each control system. We will complete a repeated measures analysis of variance with subject as a random factor, order of pattern recognition control system used as a fixed variable, and classification accuracy as a fixed variable. We will record classification accuracy at the start (0-months), mid-point (1-months) and end (2-months) of each in-home 8-week period.
