Sonomyographic Upper Limb Prosthetics: A New Paradigm

The sonomyographic system will include a custom-fitted test socket incorporating ultrasound transducers and controlling a TASKA prosthetic hand. All socket fittings will be performed by a board-certified prosthetist as part of this study.

The direct control system will include a custom-fitted test socket incorporating dual-site electrodes and controlling a TASKA prosthetic hand. All socket fittings will be performed by a board-certified prosthetist as part of this study.

The pattern recognition system will include the subject's clinically-prescribed socket and commercially-available pattern recognition technology (IBT Sense). The pattern recognition system will not be fitted as part of this study, as subjects will already be trained users prior to enrolling in the study.
