Comparing a new bionic hand to your current one
This study tests a new bionic hand (the TASKA GEN2) to see how it compares to your current prosthesis. If you join, you'll use both hands and share your experience to help improve future devices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have one arm amputated (below or above the elbow, or at the elbow joint), either since birth or later in life.
- You have been using a Michelangelo or I-Limb Ultra prosthesis for more than 2 months.
- You wear your prosthesis more than 6 hours a day.
- You can understand and follow the study instructions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 looks at how the percentage of arm loss affects balance, neck and back pain, daily activities, and reaction time in people with one arm amputated who use a myoelectric or bionic hand. It may help understand how to improve care and rehabilitation.
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 looks at a new way to control a prosthetic arm after you have had osseointegration surgery (where a metal implant is placed in your bone to attach the arm). It will help find the best settings for the muscle signals that control the arm.
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.
