Trial Outcomes & Findings for Wireless Prosthetic Control Effectiveness Study (NCT NCT06821412)

NCT ID: NCT06821412

Last Updated: 2025-11-04

Results Overview

The Orthotics and Prosthetics User's Survey (OPUS) is a self-report questionnaire consisting of five modules. The version of the OPUS which will be administered consists of 9 questions in 1 category (satisfaction with device). Questions are asked and scored on a scale from 0-4 (0=strongly disagree, 1=disagree, 2=neither agree nor disagree, 3=agree, and 4=strongly agree), with a higher value indicating a better outcome. There is an additional response for "Don't know / Not Applicable", which if chosen, is not included in the scoring. This survey will be given at the end of each study condition (2 conditions, 1 month per condition). Analysis is reported as a value that calculates the average of all questions (sum up all questions and divide by total number of questions).

Wireless Control, Then Wired Control
The participant wears the experimental socket in the wireless configuration using the prototype ASTERISK system connected within the electronics of the prosthetic socket. Then the participant wears the experimental socket in the wired configuration, which mimics the current setup for EMG-controlled prostheses The electronics are not accessible by the participant which allows both configurations to be blinded to the participants. ASTERISK System: This intervention uses an experimental socket fabricated by a certified prosthetist. The electronics within the experimental socket are set up with the ASTERISK system, which sends information collected from the EMG sensors to the prosthetic hand wirelessly rather than the current available method of wired control. Wired Configuration: This intervention uses the same experimental socket that is used for the ASTERISK intervention. The prosthesis is set-up with wired EMG control, which is the current available method for EMG-controlled prostheses.
