A Clinical Trial Comparing Functional Performance of Voluntary Opening and Closing Body Powered Prosthetic Terminal Devices
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Hosmer 5XA voluntary opening hook and TRS Grip 3 voluntary closing hook for Upper Limb Amputation. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will compare the functional performance of voluntary opening (VO) and voluntary closing (VC) body powered prostheses. We hypothesize that the ability to sense cable tension and produce progressively higher pinch from shoulder force will result in advantages for the VC terminal device (TRS, Grip 3) in terms of proprioception and overall function. The specific aims of this clinical trial are to: 1. Determine if accommodation with a VC Grip 3 prehensor will result in reduced compensatory motion during activity. 2. Determine if accommodation with a VC Grip 3 prehensor will result in improved function in activities of daily living.
