简要总结
Advanced prosthetic devices are currently controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals generated by patient's stump muscles and recorded by surface electrodes attached on the skin. This way of recordings is often unreliable, inconsistent and leading to high prosthetic abandonment rates for individuals with upper limb amputation. The use of implantable electrodes has been long thought as the solution for a more natural control of artificial limbs, as these offer access to long-term stable and physiologically appropriate sources of control, as well as the possibility to elicit appropriate sensory feedback via neurostimulation.
This Clinical Investigation (CI) is performed to clinically test and verify the safety and benefits of a bidirectional interface into the human body that allows permanent and reliable communication using implanted electrodes. These electrodes will provide long-term stable bioelectric signals for an improved control of artificial limbs. The bidirectional interface is based, and requires, the clinically established implant system for bone-anchored prostheses named Osseointegrated Prostheses for the Rehabilitation of Amputees (OPRA). The feasibility of the device was initially proven through a proof-on-concept patient who has used the system without any adverse events for more than three years.
This CI is performed to verify the safety and benefits of the Osseointegrated Human Machine Gateway (OHMG) as an enhancement of the OPRA Implant System for patients with upper limb amputation, when used within the intended purpose and according to instructions. The CI will be performed at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. A maximum of eighteen patients will be enrolled. Each patient will undergo a surgery where the OHMG will be implanted. The patients will participate in 8 follow-up sessions, the last one approximately 13 months after the surgery. The study is prospective, where the patient is his/her own control.

主要结局
Significant Improvement (p>0,05) in Myoelectric Control Using the "Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control" (ACMC) Functionality Test
时间窗: 13 months
All enrolled patients will perform one pre-operative and two post-operative ACMC-tests. The test consists of 30 functional items grouped into 4 hand use areas: gripping, holding, releasing and coordinating. Each person's performance is rated on a 4-pt capability scale. As the items are identified, the rater scores the person's performance on a scale of 0-3 (0 = not capable, 1 = sometimes capable, 2= capable upon request, 3 = spontaneously capable). The results from the pre-operative and post-operative assessments will be statistically analyzed with the Rasch model. Post-operative tests will be conducted 8 and 56 weeks after surgery.
Percentage of total study population with Adverse Events graded as Serious Adverse Events (SAE)
时间窗: 13 months
Serious adverse events are characterized as a) led to death b) led to serious deterioration in health of the subject, that either results in (i) life-threatening illness or injury, (ii) permanent impairment of a body structure or body function, (iii) in-patient or prolonged hospitalization, (iv) medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function or c) led to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect.
Number of subjects with at least two independent myoelectric signals, and at least one sensory feedback location
时间窗: 13 months
For a case to be considered successful in terms of signal transfer; 1) it must be possible to record volitional control of at least two independent muscles with a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 2, and 2) elicit sensory perception via nerve stimulation with a pulse less than 1 milliamperes (mA) amplitude and 1 ms width.
