About this trial

This research is intended to test whether the prescription of the Glide prosthesis control system reduces the burden of use for both patients and their clinical care team as compared to use of Pattern Recognition-based advanced myoelectric control. The goal of the study is to fill the gaps in clinically relevant knowledge to inform the prescription of prosthesis components and the rehabilitation process.

Eligibility criteria
