CHPS RESEARCH STUDIES

Evaluating Social Connectivity and Enjoyment in Game-Based Multiplayer EMG Training

This research is being done to help our team explore the inclusion of multiplayer electromyographic (EMG) video games to train future prosthetic arm users. EMG records signals generated by muscle flexes using sensors placed on the skin. Gamified training helps prosthesis users strengthen necessary muscles to operate an EMG prosthetic arm. Multiplayer game interactions and perceptions may help inform future training game design. The game you will play for this study aims to familiarize prosthesis users with EMG control.

Inclusion Qualifications:

Available for an in-person session at the University of Central Florida campus or Limbitless Solutions facility
Between the ages of 18 and 64 and able to consent
Have never used the Limbitless Solutions myoelectric prosthesis or Flex controller
Have full control of upper extremities
Have not had an injury to hands or arms that is currently impacting upper extremity control

Exclusion Qualifications:

You may not participate in this research opportunity if any of the following applies to you:

Adults unable to consent
Individuals who are not yet adults (infants, children, teenagers)
Adults over the age of 64
Prisoners
Pregnant women
Individuals who self-report to have limited muscle control over their arms that would prevent them from performing repetitive muscle flexes
Individuals who do not have full bilateral control of their upper extremities or have an injury or condition that prevents safe and full contraction in both arms or hands
