Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Test: time of execution of the tests tasks and the scores of these tasks in Index of Functionality. Training: Movement kinematics: movement reach time, movement grasp time, velocity of the reach, peak velocity of the reach, symmetry of the velocity profile, hand aperture, plateau phase in the hand aperture, velocity of hand opening and closing, and the timing between the reach and the grasp movement; Applied grip force; EMG-signals of the extensors and flexors of the wrist: maximum value and number of peaks the pattern of the gaze of the participants: the sequence in which the objects are fixated during a trial | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Analysis of the videos recorded during the occupational therapy Analysis of the daily diary in which the patients wrote down how often they used their prosthesis during daily life and in which way they used their prosthesis | — |
