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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
MyoTrain virtual prosthesis control training system (device) and motor imagery training (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, MyoTrain could help people with upper limb loss learn to use their prosthetic devices more effectively and comfortably.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 16 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training may not lead to real-world improvements.
