A Unique Body-Powered Terminal Device With Enhanced Grasping Capabilities for Individuals With Upper Limb Loss
Sponsor: Little Room Innovations, LLC
Summary
We have developed a novel terminal device for a prosthetic arm that eliminates the functional tradeoffs seen in body-powered voluntary open devices. The primary goal of this study is to validate the performance of the device against the commercial state-of-the-art in upper limb terminal devices.
