Providing patients with the ability to tailor their upper limb prosthetic devices to their unique functional needs and lifestyle preferences allows for greater autonomy and confidence in their prosthetic use.

This session delves into the transformative potential of pattern recognition technology in myoelectric prostheses, redefining who can benefit from these innovative solutions. By incorporating an Intent Decoding Mechanism (IDM), pattern recognition enables direct, intuitive control of multiple grip patterns—allowing users to effortlessly perform activities of daily living by decoding their specific movement intentions. This enhances functionality, independence, and overall quality of life for individuals using myoelectric prostheses.

Attendees will also gain a comprehensive understanding of clinical candidacy criteria, ensuring they can effectively determine which individuals stand to benefit most from this innovation.

Learning Objectives

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

  1. Recite key evidence and research supporting the evolution of upper limb prosthetic technology
  2. Describe the foundation of pattern recognition technology, including its principles, applications in upper limb prosthetic control, and impact on patient functionality and rehabilitation
  3. List the various indications that support patient candidacy for pattern recognition technology
