Neural Enabled Prosthesis for Upper Limb Amputees

Subject group: Seeking Healthy Adult Upper Limb Amputee Volunteers

Do you miss your sense of touch? You could be part of a neuro-technology breakthrough!

Clinical Trial
Status: Open

Volunteers with transradial amputation are sought to be part of an on-going research study to test a new investigational prosthetic system allowed by the FDA for investigation. The system has the potential to deliver meaningful sensations of touch, grip force and hand opening to the user. If you are at least 18 years of age and have a below-the-elbow amputation that occurred 9 months ago or more, then you might be eligible to participate in a clinical trial for the investigational system. For further information, go to this link: https://ans.uark.edu or contact the Research Coordinator at 479-387-3864, anslab@uark.edu or Dr. Ranu Jung at rjung@uark.edu. Compensation is available.

Non-invasive Electrical Neurostimulation for Sensory Feedback

Subject group: Seeking Healthy Adult Volunteers

Status: Open

If you

  • Are between 18 and 60 years old
  • Are in good general health

Then, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to help us develop a non-invasive electrical neurostimulation approach for providing sensory feedback and to better understand how people can perceive graded sensations. Eligible subjects will participate in up to five sessions of about 3 hours each.
Location:
Room 142, 481 S Shiloh Dr, Fayetteville, AR 72704

To volunteer or for more information please contact Ms Aliyah Shell (ashell@uark.edu) or Mr. Sathyakumar (sk094@uark.edu). Phone: 479-387-3864
Non-invasive Electrical Neurostimulation for Sensory Feedback

Subject group: Seeking Healthy Adult Upper or Lower Limb Amputee Volunteers

Status: Open

If you

  • Are between 18 and 60 years old
  • Are in good general health
  • Have an amputation between the wrist and elbow, and are able and willing to use a myoelectric prosthetic hand
  • Or have an amputation between the knee and the ankle

Then, you may be eligible to participate in a research study to help us develop a non-invasive electrical neurostimulation approach for providing sensory feedback and to better understand how people can perceive graded sensations. Eligible subjects will participate in up to five sessions of about 3 hours each.
