Comparison of Standard Myoelectric Hand and Bionic Hand Use in Individuals With Upper Limb Amputation

The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), The Box and Block Test (BBT) and Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) will be used as hand function assessment scales.

The Quebec Assistive Technology User Satisfaction Assessment (Q-YTKMD) Questionnaire will be used.

5Q-5D-5L will be used as quality of life scale.

Kinematic analysis of shoulder abduction, elbow flexion, and cervical flexion will be performed during simulated tasks of drinking water from a glass and filling glass of water.

A 10-item daily living activities parkour will be prepared for the participants. During the parkour, the participant will be given the following tasks: opening and closing 10 jar lids, slicing a 20cm cylindrical dough into 10 pieces, simulating drinking soup from a bowl 15 times with a spoon (standard bowl 150 ml, standard tablespoon 10 ml), simulating eating meatballs from a plate with a fork 10 times (approximately 6-10 meatballs per serving), simulating pouring water from a pitcher into a glass 10 times, simulating drinking water from a glass 10 times, simulating brushing teeth for 2 minutes, opening 10 clothespins attached to the edge of a cardboard box and attaching them to the other side, simulating opening and closing a zipper, and putting on shoes and tying shoelaces. The course completion time will be recorded.

A pre- and post-parkour will be employed, including a 5-point Likert scale for fatigue assesment, hand function assessment scales and kinematic analysis to participants. The results before and after the parkour will be compared.
