Recruiting students for paid study: Upper Limb Body Powered Bypass Prosthesis Training Program

The Neuromotor Control and Learning Laboratory is recruiting participants for a

study to examine the mental effort associated with using a prosthesis.

In this study, we will train you to use a body powered "bypass" upper limb prosthesis that is adapted for non-amputees. The purpose of our study is to learn more about the level of mental effort and motor learning required to use a prosthesis during everyday activities. This work is a first step to better understand the mental effort required to operate prostheses that are designed for the upper limb amputee population.

Participation in this study involves:

• $50 compensation at the completion of the study
• Completion of 11 training sessions over the course of 5-6 weeks. (6 sessions are up to 40 minutes each, 5 sessions are up to 2.5 hours each)
• Using a prosthesis to complete everyday activities ( i.e. writing, drinking from a cup, tying a shoe)
• Measurement of your brain activity
• Measurement of your body movements
