| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed myoelectric hands with multiple oriented sensor or thumb motion. In addition, mutually adaptable myoelectric hands with six movements including elbow flexion-extension, forearm pronation-supination, and digits flexion-extension, were indicated for transhumeral amputees. Furthermore, nerve transfers for more effective motion were performed. Postoperative evaluations are ongoing.
