Trials for therapies after an upper limb amputation (ULA) require a focus on the real-world
use of the upper limb prosthesis. In this paper, we extend a novel method for identifying …

There are currently limited data on how prosthetic devices are used to support lower-limb
prosthesis users in their free-living environment. Possessing the ability to monitor a patient's …

Objective To improve measurement of upper extremity (UE) use in the community by
evaluating the feasibility of using body-worn sensor data and machine learning models to …

To be effective, a prescribed prosthetic device must match the functional requirements and
capabilities of each patient. These capabilities are usually assessed by a clinician and …

Individuals with upper limb amputations rely on prosthetic devices to perform activities of
daily living. However, these technologies are often reported as being difficult to use. Prior …

Objective. Validating the ability for advanced prostheses to improve function beyond the
laboratory remains a critical step in enabling long-term benefits for prosthetic limb users …

To evaluate movement quality of upper limb (UL) prosthesis users, performance-based
outcome measures have been developed that examine the normalcy of movement as …

Amputation can have varying impacts on amputees depending on the extent of residual
muscles left. Commercial prosthetics prioritize functional movements, neglecting patient …

Adjusting to amputation can often time be difficult for the body. Post-surgery, amputees have
to wait for up to several months before receiving a properly fitted prosthesis. In recent years …

Limb amputation can lead to significant functional challenges in daily activities, prompting
amputees to use prosthetic devices (PDs). However, the cognitive demands of PDs and …
