Summary

This trial aims to compare the Point Mini system to current prosthetic treatments for children with partial hand deficiencies. Fourteen children will use their existing treatment for one month and the Point Mini system for two months

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with partial hand deficiencies due to congenital or traumatic amputation. Participants will be compared using their current prosthetic treatment, if any, against the Point Mini system.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of the Point Mini system over a two-month period versus one month with their usual prosthesis or assistive device. It's a crossover design where kids use both treatments at different times and are assessed on function and usage.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a non-drug intervention (prosthetic device), traditional side effects like those seen with medications may not apply. However, potential issues could include discomfort, skin irritation, or difficulty adapting to the Point Mini.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Point MiniExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Outcome measurements will be performed after the subject has been fit with a prosthesis at 3 different points in time: immediately post-fitting, \~30 days post-fitting, and \~60 days post-fitting.
Group II: Current/No DeviceActive Control1 Intervention
Baseline outcome measurements will be performed with subject's existing partial hand prosthetic treatment, as deemed standard-of-care by the patient's prosthetist. Device types include, but are not limited to, no prosthesis, passive prosthesis, passive positional prosthesis, body-powered prosthesis, myoelectric prosthesis, or other assistive device.
