First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new powered prosthetic hand system called Point Powered in 10 adults who have lost part of their hand. The device uses muscle signals to control moving fingers. Researchers will compare it to each person's current prosthetic to see if it improves hand function, daily activities, and quality of life over three months.
