Abstract:
This paper focuses on the assessment and validation of the UNB test of prosthetics function. There is a constant need to stay up to date with forms of assessment, as assistive devices become more intuitive and precise enabling better control and movement. Due to these advancements in therapy, technology, and education, the UNB test of prosthetics function is subject to redesign in order to better evaluate the usage, function, and training of present day users of prosthetic arms. The aim of this study is to re-evaluate the current protocol to determine any modifications that may be necessary to comply with current standards of practice. The revised test will then be validated through the use of various clinics and users.
