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

This study tests a smarter way to control a powered prosthetic arm using your muscle signals, with a wrist that rotates and a hand that can move in many ways. Participation may help improve how the device responds to your movements.
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.
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.
