Summary

This study tests a new type of prosthetic hook that aims to give people with upper limb loss a better grip without the usual trade-offs. Eight adults aged 18 to 80 will compare the new device to standard hooks by doing everyday tasks like picking up objects. The goal is to see if the new design makes daily activities easier and less tiring.
