Brasthesis Prototype for Women Veterans With Upper Limb Amputations
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Brasthesis for Upper Limb Amputation. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project tests Brasthesis, a new product for women Veterans with upper limb loss. Brasthesis incorporates the harnessing straps that hold the prosthesis to the body into a heavy-duty sports bra. The position of the harnessing straps are individualized for each woman so that the prosthesis can be positioned for optimal contact between the prosthetic sensor and the residual limb. The investigators foresee Brasthesis being available as an adaptable sports bra that comes with a goodie bag of spare parts that can be used to customize Brasthesis. The investigators plan to develop Brasthesis to be machine washable and relatively inexpensive so that Veterans can have more than one in a variety of colors.
