What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how well people with below-elbow amputations can imagine movements (motor imagery) and whether that skill helps them use their myoelectric prosthetic arm more effectively. Researchers will compare 30 amputees with a control group, using questionnaires and mental rotation tests. The goal is to understand the link between mental imagery, arm function, and body awareness, which could lead to better 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 research could help design better rehabilitation programs that improve how well people use their myoelectric prostheses.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures abilities and perceptions, not a treatment, so direct benefits are limited.
