Training with PRC
All participants will receive in-person training with an onsite study prosthetist for the assigned controller strategy. The purpose of the training will be to instruct users on the care of the device formally and to achieve a basic level of functional performance. Training will be individualized according to clinical discretion consistent with clinical practice. Training will consist of up to four sessions to facilitate participants' use of the assigned controller system. The number of sessions will be competency-based (i.e., determined by the ability of each participant to explain or perform specified tasks). A standardized protocol and training checklist have been developed by clinical subject matter experts (i.e., upper limb prosthetists and occupational therapists).
