Evaluation of an Implantable Intramuscular Device to Control a Myoelectric Prosthesis
The purpose of this research study is to see how well a new type of myoelectric prosthesis works. A myoelectric prosthesis is a robotic limb for amputees that …
Epidermal Sensors for Wireless and Enhanced Amputee Skin Tracking (E-SWEAT) Part 1
The goal of this clinical trial is to 1) demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring pressure, temperature, and lactic acid density of sweat inside the prostheti…
Fall-related Health Outcome in Lower Limb Prosthesis Users: A Pragmatic Clinical Trial to Assess Effectiveness of Microprocessor-controlled Prosthetic Knees
The goal of this study is to find out if using microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs), prosthetic knees with a built-in computer, improves health ou…
Evaluation of Functional Performance of Persons With Limb Differences to Optimize Pattern Recognition Control of Powered Upper Limb Prosthesis
The goal of this clinical trial is to systematically evaluate whether or not two commonly held fundamental assumptions for pattern recognition control translat…
A Feasibility Study Evaluating the Magnetic Bead Tracking System and Its Safety and Effectiveness When Used With a Bionic External Prosthesis to Improve Prosthetic Controllability for Persons With Transtibial Amputation
The investigation is an early feasibility study in up to 5 subjects, in which the primary objective is to capture preliminary safety and effectiveness informat…
R21: An Easy-to-use, iNtelligent, Affordable LinEr (ENABLE) System for Socket Fit Assessment
Lower limb amputees (LLA) rely on their prosthetic legs to remain active and lead an independent life. For most LLAs, a well-fitted prosthetic socket is the on…
Do Transfemoral Prostheses With Powered Prosthetic Knee Flexion and Extension Improve Mobility? A Biomechanical Evaluation of the Ossur Power Knee
Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPKs) do not typically utilize motors to power joint rotation, but they automatically adjust resistance or damping in the join…
DExterous Hand Control Through Fascicular Targeting (DEFT) - (Human Subjects)
Our goal is to temporarily implant the following groups for 540 +/- 30 days: 1. Forearm FAST electrodes 1. Five human partial hand amputees (amputated at …
Intuitive Control of a Hybrid Prosthetic Leg During Ambulation
The objective of this research is to determine the clinical benefits of an innovative and lightweight powered leg controlled using our intent recognition frame…
Influence of Prosthetic Foot Stiffness on Transtibial Osseointegrated Bone-Anchored Limb Outcomes
A clinical trial utilizing cross-over study design in which individuals with transtibial amputation using either a bone-anchored limb or standard socket prosth…
