Training with “Extended Reality” or X-Reality (XR) systems can undoubtedly enhance the
control of the myoelectric prostheses. However, there is no consensus on which factors …

This article provides a comprehensive narrative review of physical task-based assessments
used to evaluate the multi-grasp dexterity and functional impact of varying control systems in …

Background Virtual and augmented reality (AR) have become popular modalities for training
myoelectric prosthesis control with upper-limb amputees. While some systems have shown …

Adjusting to an amputation can often times be difficult for the body. Post-surgery, amputees
not only have to incur expensive rehabilitation treatment costs, but also have to wait for up to …

Method The Clothespin Relocation Test has been adapted from an arm training tool to
create an instrument to measure hand function. It is based on the time to move three …

Many upper-limb prostheses lack proper wrist rotation functionality, leading to users
performing poor compensatory strategies, leading to overuse or abandonment. In this study …

Despite decades of research and development, myoelectric prosthetic hands lack
functionality and are often rejected by users. This lack in functionality can be partially …

A major issue with upper limb prostheses is the disconnect between sensory information
perceived by the user and the information perceived by the prosthesis. Advances in …

Upper-limb amputees face tremendous difficulty in operating dexterous powered
prostheses. Previous work has shown that aspects of prosthetic hand, wrist, or elbow control …

Functional upper-limb prosthetic training can improve users performance in controlling
prostheses and has been incorporated into occupational therapy for individuals in need. In …
