A Unique Body-Powered Terminal Device With Enhanced Grasping Capabilities for Individuals With Upper Limb Loss

We have developed a novel terminal device for a prosthetic arm that eliminates the functional tradeoffs seen in body-powered voluntary open devices. The primary goal of this study is to validate the performance of the device against the commercial state-of-the-art in upper limb terminal devices.

Inclusion Criteria:

Are between the ages of 18-80 Are proficient in English Able to demonstrate proper functioning and safety of the terminal device

Exclusion Criteria:

Have visual or mental impairments Have history of neurological or musculoskeletal disorders
