Primary outcomePrimary: Capacity Assessment of Prosthetic Performance for the Upper Limb (CAPPFUL) — 74.6 scores on a scale
Summary
This study will allow us to assess whether the Point Digit confers functional and psychological benefit to persons with partial hand amputations in an unconstrained environment. The use of the Point Digit outside of the laboratory will allow for a wider variety of uses and for a more realistic simulation of the product being used in the field. This well-controlled trial (without randomization of subjects) will produce the first Level II-1 medical evidence in our field of partial hand prosthetic design as described by the 1989 U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Furthermore, this study will provide important data to support providers who are requesting reimbursement from payers.
