Summary

This study tests a new muscle-training program for people with above-elbow amputation who have a bone-anchored prosthetic arm. The goal is to help them control a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthetic hand and elbow more reliably in daily life. Five adults scheduled for osseointegration surgery will participate. Researchers will measure how much they use the prosthesis over time.
