Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The experiment has two primary outcome measures relating directly to the quality of prosthetic control: 1. Force reproduction error, 2. Force variability.<br><br>Force reproduction error: The differences between the reference force/displacement and the reproduced force/displacement of the control cable indicates the capability of a subject to perceive and control the required force/displacement.<br><br /><br /><br>Force variability: the standard deviation of the reproduced force/displacement indicates the capability of the subject to control the required force/displacement.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary outcome measures of the experiment are 1. Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) and 2. questionnaires; NASA TLX and body map.<br><br /><br /><br>MVC: The maximum voluntary contraction indicates the physical capacities of a subject. This indicates design requirements for future prosthesis design.<br><br /><br /><br>Questionnaires: The Nasa TLX questionnaire and the colored body map documents the subjective feelings of the subject during the experiments. These data might help to explain and interpret the primary outcome measures.
