Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Prosthetics Engineering

Background:

  • Improving outcomes after upper-extremity amputation requires a deeper understanding of prosthesis use.
  • Motor control challenges associated with different amputation levels are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how task complexity and prosthesis type (transradial vs. partial-hand) influence functional adaptation in users.
  • To elucidate motor control strategies during reach-to-grasp actions with body-powered prosthesis simulators.

Main Methods:

  • Non-amputated participants performed simple and complex reach-to-grasp tasks using transradial and partial-hand prosthesis simulators.
  • Behavioral data, including movement duration and reach kinematics, were analyzed to assess functional adaptation.

Main Results:

  • Partial-hand prosthesis users showed greater adaptation, particularly in complex tasks, with variable grasp postures and higher peak reach velocities.
  • All participants reduced movement duration in complex tasks, but only partial-hand users improved in simple tasks.
  • Behavioral changes indicate that both device level and task complexity significantly influence prosthesis use and adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • The level of amputation (transradial vs. partial-hand) and task complexity interact to affect functional adaptation in prosthesis users.
  • Findings provide insights into motor control during prosthetic limb use, relevant for optimizing amputation rehabilitation strategies.
  • Understanding these dynamics can inform the design and training protocols for upper-extremity prostheses.
