About this trial
This observational study aims to compare myoelectric and bionic hands in terms of upper extremity function, body image and satisfaction.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
\- Does upper extremity function differ between bionic and myoelectric hands?
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does upper extremity function differ between bionic and myoelectric hands?

Primary outcomes
Upper Limb Functionol Index-15
The Upper Limb Functional Index-15 (ULFI-15) is a 15-item patient-reported outcome measure used to assess functional limitations related to the upper extremity. It evaluates difficulties in daily activities, movement, and functional performance of the upper limb. Higher scores indicate greater functional limitation.
Amputee Body Image Scale
The Amputee Body Image Scale (ABIS) is a self-reported questionnaire designed to assess body image perception and body-related concerns in individuals with limb amputation. It measures the psychological impact of amputation on body image, with higher scores reflecting greater body image disturbance.
Orthotics and Prosthetics Users' Survey
The Orthotics and Prosthetics Users' Survey (OPUS) is a validated patient-reported outcome measure used to evaluate functional status, satisfaction, and quality of life in individuals using orthotic or prosthetic devices. It assesses the user's perceived functional ability and satisfaction with their prosthetic device and related services.
