Summary
This study aims to see if using ultrasound imaging to sense muscle activity can improve how people with upper limb amputations control their prosthetic arms. Researchers will compare this new method to standard myoelectric controls in 16 participants. The goal is to make prosthetics more functional and intuitive, potentially reducing the high rate of abandonment.
