Abstract

Assessing upper limb prostheses and their influence when performing goal-directed activities is essential to compare the quality of different devices and optimize their control settings. Currently available assessments are often subjective, insensitive, and cannot provide a detailed evaluation of prostheses and their usage. The goal of this pilot study was to explore the feasibility of using the Virtual Peg Insertion Test (VPIT) to provide an in-depth assessment of a prosthesis and its functional performance. One transradial amputee performed the goal-directed manipulation task of the VPIT with the sound body side and four different myoelectrically-controlled prostheses. The subject was able to complete the VPIT protocol successfully with technically advanced prosthesis (two out of four devices). The kinematic- and kinetic-based objective evaluation measures extracted from the VPIT were able to capture clear differences between the sound and amputated body side and were able to identify varying movement patterns for different prostheses. Additionally, the outcome measures were sensitive to changes in prosthesis control settings and showed clear trends across measures of subjectively perceived prosthesis quality assessed through a questionnaire. This work demonstrates the general feasibility of objectively evaluating functional prosthesis usage with the VPIT.
