Changes in performance over time while learning to use a myoelectric prosthesis

Training increases the functional use of an upper limb prosthesis, but little is known about how people learn to use their prosthesis. The aim of this study was to describe the changes in performance with an upper limb myoelectric prosthesis during practice. The results provide a basis to develop an evidence-based training program.Thirty-one able-bodied participants took part in an experiment as well as thirty-one age- and gender-matched...
