CHPS RESEARCH STUDIES

Evaluating Multi-Gesture Electromyographic Control for Prosthesis

This research is being done to help our team explore using video games for training future users to use a multi-gesture prosthetic arm. Understanding how the general population first interacts with the game may benefit future patients receiving a prosthetic. The tablet-based game you will play for this study aims to teach future prosthesis users how to differentiate between zones corresponding to unique prosthesis gestures using the same electromyographic (EMG) technology.

Inclusion Qualifications:

  • You are between the ages of 18-64 and able to consent.
  • You have full control of your upper extremities.
  • You have not had an injury to your hands or arms that is currently impacting your upper extremity
  • You have never used a Limbitless Solutions myoelectric prosthesis or Flex Controller.

Exclusion Qualifications:

You may not participate in this research opportunity if any of the following applies to you:
  • Adults unable to consent
  • Individuals who do not have full bilateral control of their upper extremity
  • Individuals with limited muscle contraction in their arms
  • Individuals with injury or condition that prevents safe and full contraction in both arms or hands
  • Individuals who are not yet adults
