First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a virtual training system called MyoTrain for people who have lost part of an arm. Sixteen participants will either use MyoTrain or standard mental practice to learn controlling a prosthetic hand. The goal is to see if MyoTrain helps them use their prosthesis more often and with better skill.
