Testing touch feedback for prosthetic limbs in healthy people
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests how well a prosthetic touch system can give realistic sensory feedback. It aims to improve how prosthetic users feel touch and movement, based on controlled testing in volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 20 to 70
- You can read, understand, and sign the study consent forms

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests how different numbers and types of muscle signals (myoelectric) affect control of a prosthetic hand and wrist. It aims to find the best setup for people with a below-elbow amputation who have used a myoelectric prosthetic before.
This study is testing different ways to control an arm prosthesis for people missing a hand or lower arm (transradial amputation). It may help compare how well people can use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthesis using either direct control or pattern recognition.
This study tests whether a nerve-based “feedback” system can help people with below-knee or above-knee amputations during standing and walking. It focuses on whether the training and device setup are safe and workable for participants over the study period.
This study tests if using a special device to feel different textures can help improve hand and arm recovery in people who have had a stroke.
This study tests whether movement “feedback” can help adults with arm or leg amputations control a prosthetic better. It may be most helpful if you can comfortably wear a prosthetic socket and can understand and consent to the study.
This study looks at whether tiny implanted sensors in a nerve can record brain/nerve signals and use them to provide feedback for people with a transradial arm amputation. If it works, it could help improve control or awareness with a prosthetic hand or related devices.
