Summary

This study tests a new way to perform arm amputations that may allow people to better control advanced prosthetic arms and even feel where their limb is in space. Twenty participants will be split into two groups: ten will get the new surgery, and ten will have a standard amputation. The goal is to see if the new approach improves movement, sensation, and quality of life.
