Assessing Force Feedback With the SoftHand Pro (CUFF)
18. november 2020 oppdatert av: Kristin Zhao, PhD
Assessing the Effectiveness of Upper-limb Force Feedback With the SoftHand Pro Myoelectric Prosthesis in Persons With Transradial Limb Loss
The trial is designed to test the effectiveness of a force-feedback cuff in combination with a myoelectric prosthesis in conveying information on grasp strength to the user, as well as the user's preference regarding the feature.

Detaljert beskrivelse
The human sensorimotor control system uses both feedforward planning and sensory feedback information, in order to actuate the musculoskeletal system and interact with the external environment, e.g. when modulating grip force for various object properties.
As a result, lack of sensory input, as in the case of motor impairments or amputations, can dramatically affect activities of daily living (ADLs).
The contribution of the proposed research will be to test the effectiveness of a novel, non-invasive prosthetic technology in delivering sensory information.
The investigators' approach is "modality matching," in that it produces a sensation in the user similar to the type of information to be transmitted.
Specifically, the approach will combine the Soft Hand Pro (SHP), an anthropomorphic, myoelectrically controlled prosthetic hand, with an upper limb force feedback device (CUFF) to provide patients with transradial amputations with grasp force (pressure) information.

Intervensjon / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentell: Patient
Testing will include assessments of activities of daily living (ADLs) by a physical therapist, biomechanical measures of forces applied to objects and motion of the upper limb collected during commonly-performed tasks, and surveys assessing user preference regarding the force feedback feature, all while using the SoftHand Pro myoelectric lower arm prosthetic and the CUFF force feedback devices in tandem, utilizing the subjects' own prosthetic sockets.
Grip force will be recorded using sensors attached to the CUFF device.
During each session, videos will be obtained of the subjects performing tasks for kinematics analysis.
The experimental sessions are organized into one to two sessions, comprising up to 16 hours, as determined by subject availability.
|
Participants will complete various movement and activity of daily living (ADL) assessments to test the effectiveness of the CUFF device in combination with the Soft Hand Pro (SHP) in conveying haptic force feedback to patients with transradial limb loss, and to assess the extent to which the grip force feedback improves the embodiment of the prosthetic device.
