Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can lead to greater prosthesis function and control. Subjects are asked to perform specific tasks and actions using the traditional control method, as well as RFID control.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Functional Assessment

Participant will be asked to perform a series of tasks involving their prosthesis. These tasks can involve switching grips as well as moving objects.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Morph

Intervention Type DEVICE

Morph is a small electric controller that is retrofit into existing myoelectric prostheses to equip them with wireless identification capabilities. Specifically, Morph allows the prosthesis to react to RFID tags in the environment.
