This study is testing a new muscle training program and a muscle-controlled prosthetic arm for people who have lost an arm above the elbow. Participants will first receive a bone-anchored implant and nerve surgery to improve muscle signals. Then they will use a myoelectric prosth…

This study tests the Point Mini, a mechanical finger prosthetic, in 14 children aged 3-17 with partial hand differences from amputation or birth. Each child uses their current device for one month, then the Point Mini for two months, to compare hand function, ease of use, and how…

This study tests a 3D-printed adapter that snaps onto an Xbox controller, allowing children aged 7 to 17 with a one-sided upper limb difference to use almost all buttons with one hand. Researchers want to see if it improves gaming performance and enjoyment. Twenty participants wi…

This study looks at how the brain changes in people born without a hand or upper limb. Researchers will use brain scans and simple tasks to compare their brain activity and structure to those with both arms. The goal is to understand how early life shapes the brain's ability to a…

This study looks at how using a 3D-printed prosthetic hand changes brain activity in children born with missing fingers, hands, or arms. Researchers will use a brain imaging technique called fNIRS to measure brain responses while children perform tasks with the prosthesis. The go…

This study aims to find the best way to place sensors on a prosthetic socket to improve how well people with below-elbow amputations can control their powered arm. Researchers will compare different numbers of sensors (4, 8, or up to 16) and whether targeting specific muscles hel…
