This course introduces therapists to emerging care strategies for individuals following upper limb amputation, with a focus on integrating pattern recognition technology into rehabilitation. As an innovative control method for myoelectric prostheses, pattern recognition enhances intuitive, functional use—empowering patients to achieve greater independence.

Therapists play a critical role in the successful adoption of this technology. This session will cover foundational concepts, followed by practical training strategies to support personalized care plans and device optimization. Attendees will advance their expertise in upper limb prosthetic rehabilitation and empower patients with cutting-edge solutions for improved independence and well-being.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, learners will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate how to successfully educate patients to master and fully utilize their pattern recognition control system
  2. Compare and contrast pattern recognition with other control strategies used to operate myoelectric devices, including considerations for candidacy
  3. Define basic operation and mechanics of upper limb prosthetic devices
  4. Formulate treatment plans for incorporation of device into patient’s ADL, IADL, work and leisure activities for a goal of promoting independence, participation and quality of life
