Touch feedback system for arm amputees
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are very active and can walk or move around easily.
- You can understand and agree to participate in the study.

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 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.
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.
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 trial tests a surgically placed device that connects to arm nerves to improve control and feeling in a prosthetic arm. It may help people with upper limb amputations who already use or are prescribed a myoelectric prosthesis.
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.
