Improving prosthetic control after arm loss
Part of Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new training approach to help people who have lost or were born without an arm below the elbow or higher. The training uses sensory and movement exercises to improve how you control a prosthetic device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have lost an arm above the wrist or were born without part of your arm above the wrist
- You can understand and speak French for interviews
- You have French social security coverage
- You do not have an ongoing psychiatric or neurological condition that affects movement

This trial tests whether changing how your prosthetic socket fits can create helpful phantom limb sensations that improve your walking. It may help people with major lower-limb amputations walk more naturally.
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 approach for rehabilitation after an upper-limb amputation to help improve your ability to intentionally control a prosthetic and regain a sense of position (“proprioception”). You may be considered if you are planning an elective upper-arm or below-elbow amputation and can safely have surgery and follow up closely.
This trial studies whether the MyoTrain system can help people with a below-elbow (trans-radial) arm amputation control a myoelectric prosthesis using muscle signals. It may help you practice and use a more “thought-to-movement” style control method if you meet the safety and participation requirements.
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 new way to control a powered prosthetic arm called Glide control. Researchers want to see if it stays reliable over time for people who have lost part of their arm below or above the elbow.
