Monitoring at-home prosthesis control improvements through real-time data logging.

Validating the ability for advanced prostheses to improve function beyond the laboratory remains a critical step in enabling long-term benefits for prosthetic limb users.A nine week take-home case study was completed with a single participant with upper limb amputation and osseointegration to better understand how an advanced prosthesis is used during daily activities. The participant was already an expert prosthesis user and used the Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL) at home during the study.

Current and emerging prostheses for partial hand amputation: A narrative review.

Partial hand amputation can have a tremendous range of impact and functional loss on a person's life. One solution to improve function and address some of the problems that partial hand amputees face is to fit them with a prosthesis. Partial hand prosthetic devices range in a wide spectrum in both function and aesthetics.

Extended home use of an advanced osseointegrated prosthetic arm improves function, performance, and control efficiency.

Full restoration of arm function using a prosthesis remains a grand challenge; however, advances in robotic hardware, surgical interventions, and machine learning are bringing seamless human-machine interfacing closer to reality.Through extensive data logging over 1 year, we monitored at-home use of the dexterous Modular Prosthetic Limb controlled through pattern recognition of electromyography (EMG) by an individual with a transhumeral amputation, targeted muscle reinnervation, and osseointegration (OI).Throughout the study, continuous prosthesis usage increased (1% per week,< 0.
