First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a new prosthetic hand, the SoftHand Pro, helps people with below-elbow limb loss perform daily activities better than a commonly used hand, the i-Limb. Thirty-six adults who already use a myoelectric hand took part over 8 weeks. Researchers measured how well they did tasks like picking up objects and using tools.
