Summary

This study compares a new Glide control system to standard pattern recognition for controlling prosthetic arms in people with above- or below-elbow amputations. Researchers want to see if Glide reduces how often users need to adjust their device or visit a clinician. The study involves 12 adults who are new to both control methods and will track their experiences over time.
