    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Robotics
    • Prosthetics Design

    Background:

    • Prosthetic hand design significantly impacts user performance and satisfaction.
    • Individuals with bilateral amputation often face challenges with limited residual mobility and compensatory movements.
    • Traditional rigid prosthetic hands may not fully meet the complex functional needs of users.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the performance and user perception of a traditional rigid prosthetic hand against an adaptable poly-articulated prosthetic hand.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of soft robotic technologies in prosthetic applications for individuals with bilateral amputation.
    • To assess the impact of prosthetic design on user satisfaction, functional performance, and cognitive load.

    Main Methods:

    • A pre- and post-training protocol was conducted with an individual with bilateral amputation.
    • Performance and perception were evaluated using a commercial rigid prosthetic hand (Ottobock's MyoHand VariPlus Speed) and two experimental adaptable poly-articulated hands (SoftHand Pro).
    • User performance, acceptance, satisfaction, and perceived functionality were measured, alongside observational analysis by experienced therapists.

    Main Results:

    • The individual achieved significantly better performance with the adaptable poly-articulated SoftHand Pro compared to the rigid prosthetic hand.
    • User acceptance, satisfaction, and perceived functionality were considerably higher for the SoftHand Pro.
    • Observational analysis indicated that adaptable hands reduced compensatory movements and cognitive load for the user.

    Conclusions:

    • Adaptive poly-articulated prosthetic hands offer superior performance and user experience over traditional rigid designs for individuals with bilateral amputation.
    • Soft robotic technologies show particular promise for enhancing the functional capabilities and daily living activities of amputees with limited residual mobility.
    • The findings suggest a paradigm shift towards more adaptable and biomimetic prosthetic designs to improve rehabilitation outcomes.
