Training prosthesis users to switch between modes of a multi-articulating prosthetic hand.

Even though both training methods were deemed feasible and most participants showed transfer, seven training sessions were insufficient to learn reliable switching behaviour.Trial registration: The study was approved by the medical ethics committee of the University Medical Center Groningen (METc 2018.268).Implications for rehabilitationSwitching between pre-programmed modes of a myoelectric prosthetic hand can be learned, however it does require training.Serious games can be considered useful training tools for trigger production in early phases of myoelectric prosthesis control training.In order to evoke transfer of skill from training to daily life both task-specificity and focus of attention during training should be taken into account.
