Brief Summary

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

This will be a prospective study over a 14-month duration with clinical evaluations throughout. Limitless Solutions will provide prosthetics and training system for study subjects that qualify for enrollment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Prosthetics for children are costly and those families who do get them often find that children don't use them for very long for a variety of reasons, including weight and ease of use. Limitless Solutions has developed technology to create personalized bionics for people with disabilities at an affordable cost. This will be a prospective study over a 14-month duration with clinical evaluations throughout. Limitless Solutions will provide prosthetics and training system for study subjects free of charge. During each visit, the study team will include an occupational therapist, a prosthetist, a study coordinator, and a research volunteer along with Limitless support staff and a supervising physician. Subject will complete quality of life questionnaires throughout their participation.
