Investigators wish to evaluate the effects of adding VTF to upper limb prostheses on functional outcome measures of upper limb prosthetic users.
Investigators will perform three experiments:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vibrotactile feedback | Experimental | Vibrotactile system - comprises of force sensors, attached to the fingertips of the prosthetic hand, and a set of 8 vibration actuators attached to a fabric arm cuff. When the subject applies force on the sensors with his prosthetic hand, he receives a vibration on the skin of his arm. The sensors and actuators are connected to an electronic control board, which transforms the resistance from the sensors to an electric signal that activates the vibration actuators. |

| Orthotics and Prosthetics User Survey-Upper Extremity Functional Status | A subjective questionnaire concerning the ability to perform daily tasks. The score ranges from 23 to 115. | 2 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Modified Box & Blocks test | This test is aimed to assess unilateral gross manual dexterity. The test comprises of a two-compartment box and 16 cube blocks.The subject is instructed to transport the blocks as possible over the partition into the opposite compartment. The time in seconds is measured. | 2 weeks |

| Time to complete dual tasking test |
The time needed to complete grasping tasks while playing a simple computer game with the other hand is measured in seconds. |
| 2 weeks |
| Activity | In order to record the actual use of the prosthesis in the natural environment of the subject, a wireless activity monitor that can be easily attached to the prosthesis will be used. The output measure of the activity monitor are "activity counts". | 2 weeks |
