Testing a new implant to control a bionic hand
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a small implant that reads muscle signals to help you control a prosthetic hand more naturally. You may qualify if you have a missing hand or arm below the elbow and currently use or could use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthetic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are missing part of your arm below the elbow, either from birth or amputation
- You are at least 18 years old
- You currently use a muscle-signal prosthetic or are a good candidate for one
- Your amputation happened at least 1 year ago
- You are willing to come to study visits and follow the study plan

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 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 study checks whether a new sensor-enabled prosthesis for people with a lower-arm (transradial) amputation can be safely fitted and used. It may help improve how well a prosthesis can read muscle signals to control a hand/arm replacement.
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 study tests a small implant that records signals from your forearm muscles in people with a specific type of arm amputation. It aims to help improve how well prosthetic hands can be controlled using muscle activity.
