Research summary
The aim of this study is to collect information on the performance of upper limb prosthetic devices, such as prosthetic hands, when used by individuals with limb absence. Professionals involved in prescribing and fitting the devices will also be included. The study is sponsored by Össur which manufactures the prosthetic devices to be tested in the study. The majority of devices being tested are commercially available (UKCA/CE marked) but device modifications may also be evaluated when required and with appropriate justification. The results of the study will influence the design and development of prosthetic devices, leading to improved devices for patients in the future.
