Study Details

This observational study aims to compare myoelectric and bionic hands in terms of upper extremity function, body image and satisfaction. The main questions it aims to answer are: \- Does upper extremity function differ between bionic and myoelectric hands?

Enrollment
20 participants (estimated)

Arms

  • Arm: Bionic Prosthetic Hand Group
    Participants use advanced myoelectric prosthetic hands with multi-articulating structures and enhanced control features designed to improve functional performance.These devices are designed to enhance hand function, dexterity, and user interaction beyond conventional myoelectric control.
  • Arm: Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand Group
    Participants in this group are individuals with upper limb amputation who use a myoelectric prosthetic hand controlled by surface electromyographic signals from residual limb muscles. These devices provide electrically powered hand movement and basic grasp functions without advanced bionic or sensor-integrated features.

Primary Outcome Measure

Upper Limb Functionol Index-15 [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
