New ways to control an advanced prosthetic hand
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing new, more natural ways to control an advanced prosthetic hand for people with below-elbow amputations. It may help you move the prosthetic more easily and intuitively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a below-elbow (transradial) amputation
- You have some experience using a myoelectric (muscle-controlled) prosthetic hand
- You have good vision and eye control
- You do not have other serious health conditions that could interfere (like Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, or cancer)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have significant memory or thinking problems
- You can understand and follow instructions in Italian

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of prosthetic hands: a myoelectric hand (controlled by muscle signals) and a bionic hand (with more advanced features). The goal is to see which one works better for people who already use a prosthetic arm with a semi-electronic elbow.
This trial tests a new way to control a robotic hand using sensors on your skin and to give you feeling back through mild electrical pulses. It may help people with upper limb amputations have a more natural sense of touch and control.
This study tests a new system that gives you touch sensations through a prosthetic hand. It aims to help you feel more connected to the device and improve how you use it.
This study tests a new way to connect nerve signals from your amputated arm to a prosthetic hand, which may help you control it more naturally and feel what the hand is touching.
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 trial tests a new way to control a bionic hand for people who have a below-elbow amputation. The goal is to make the hand easier and more natural to use.
