This trial is looking for people who have lost their arm below the elbow and want to try a new type of prosthetic device. Participants will have a device implanted that uses sensors to help control the prosthetic arm.
You may be able to join if
- I have a below-elbow arm amputation.
- I am willing to have sensors implanted in my arm.
- I have at least 6 muscle areas available for the sensors.
- I have experience using myoelectric prostheses.
- I use my myoelectric device for about 6-8 hours each day.
- I can attend study visits and give consent.
You may not be able to join if
- I have a health condition that may pose a risk.
- I have a neurological disorder affecting control.
- I have a major injury above the amputation level.
- I have a neuromuscular disorder.
- I have nerve damage that could affect the muscles for implantation.
- I am allergic to materials used in implants.
- I already have an active implant.
