Recruiting

• Conditions: Appropriate Affect
• Interventions: Other: Modified illusion of the rubber (syncrhone); Other: Modified illusion of the rubber (asynchrone)

• Registration Number: NCT05931198
• Lead Sponsor: Institut Robert Merle d'aubigné

Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to compare the strength of the incorporation according to the type of prosthesis (aesthetic, mechanical, myoelectric) with the experience the illusion of the rubber hand. The investigators will replace is the rubber by the patient's prothesis. The population will be people with upper arm amputation above the hand and they will be their own comparation.

Participants will do the the experience the illusion of the rubber hand in asynchronic and synchronic way and to answer questionnaries.
