    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Science
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Upper limb amputation significantly impacts daily activities and psychosocial well-being, reducing quality of life.
    • High abandonment rates of advanced robotic prostheses indicate a gap between user needs and current device capabilities.
    • Existing research lacks a harmonized and prioritized understanding of amputee requirements for prosthetic development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify, harmonize, and prioritize the needs of individuals with upper limb loss.
    • To bridge the gap between user requirements and the performance of robotic prostheses.
    • To guide the development of more user-centered and effective prosthetic solutions.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic literature review using the PRISMA methodology, analyzing 73 relevant papers.
    • A bottom-up approach to cluster identified needs into categories and macro-categories.
    • Taxonomic analysis of terms from the literature and normalization of major surveys for needs prioritization.

    Main Results:

    • A comprehensive taxonomy of user needs for upper limb amputees was developed.
    • Prioritized lists of user needs were established based on normalized survey data.
    • The study provides a foundational understanding for user-centered robotic prosthesis design.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding and prioritizing user needs is crucial for reducing robotic prosthesis abandonment.
    • This work offers a framework to guide the design of more functional and user-friendly upper limb prostheses.
    • Future integration with technical specifications and advanced manufacturing can enable personalized prosthetic solutions.
