3D-printed arm prosthetics for children with certain limb differences
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests 3D-printed, myoelectric arm prosthetic devices (arms that use muscle signals to control movement) for children who were born with specific upper-limb differences. It may help your child get a better-fitting, more functional prosthetic designed for their needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 7 and 17 years old
- Have an upper-limb difference present since birth (transhumeral or transradial)
- Your limb difference must match what the study identifies (as noted by Limbitless Solutions)
- You and your family must be able to speak and understand English
- Your child cannot have a shoulder or wrist disarticulation (missing the shoulder or wrist end joint)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks at how 3D-printed prosthetic devices affect brain and nerve activity related to moving and using the upper limb. You might be able to join if you are a child or teen who is missing part of a hand/arm and has upper-limb movement difficulties.
This trial is testing a new way to treat large bone defects in the lower leg or thigh using a custom 3D-printed titanium implant. It may help people whose bone didn't heal after injury, infection, or tumor removal.
This study explores whether playing video games with adapted controls can help children aged 7 to 17 who have a missing or different arm or hand. It tests how fun and useful these games are for improving movement and daily life.
This trial studies whether the MyoTrain system can help people with a below-elbow (trans-radial) arm amputation control a myoelectric prosthesis using muscle signals. It may help you practice and use a more “thought-to-movement” style control method if you meet the safety and participation requirements.
This trial tests whether a custom 3D-printed splint can improve arm and hand function in people who had a stroke a while ago. It's designed for those with some arm weakness and mild to moderate muscle tightness.
This trial is testing 3D-printed, customized bone grafts made from donor bone to help children and teens stabilize corrective surgery for limb bone alignment. It may help patients who need a planned bone cut (osteotomy) plus a large bone graft to hold the correction in place.
