Bionic vs myoelectric hands: which works better for amputees?
NCT ID NCT07347561
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of artificial hands—bionic and myoelectric—for people who have lost an arm below the shoulder. Researchers want to see which hand helps with daily tasks, how users feel about their body image, and how satisfied they are. About 20 adults who have used a prosthetic hand for at least 6 months will take surveys to share their experiences.
