Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control – Evaluation of Task Difficulty, Newly Merged Items and Redefined Rating Scale

چکیده
Task difficulty and validity The Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control (ACMC) is an observational assessment designed to assess a prosthesis user’s ability to operate a myoelectric prosthetic hand in a bimanual task [1]. The prosthesis user is encouraged to select a bimanual task for the assessment. Concern has been raised over the tasks being used in the assessments [2]. Would a prosthesis user receive different ACMC scores on different tasks?
