Summary

This observational study looks at how the percentage of arm loss in people with a single upper-limb amputation relates to balance, neck and back pain, daily activities, and reaction time. Participants aged 18 to 65 who use a myoelectric or bionic prosthesis will undergo non-invasive tests like posture analysis and reaction-time tasks. The goal is to better understand functional changes and guide future rehabilitation strategies.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this study could improve rehabilitation plans for people with upper limb amputation by clarifying how the extent of limb loss affects daily function and pain.
What could go wrong: This is a small observational study with only 15 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It measures associations, not causes, and does not test any treatment.
