Benefits of the Cybathlon 2020 experience for a prosthetic hand user: a case study on the Hannes system.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCybathlon championship aims at promoting the development of prosthetic and assistive devices capable to meet users' needs. This paper describes and analyses possible exploitation outcomes of our team's (REHAB TECH) experience into the Powered Arm Prosthesis Race of the Cybathlon 2020 Global Edition, with the novel prosthetic system Hannes. In detail, we present our analysis on a concurrent evaluation conducted to verify if the Cybathlon training and competition positively influenced pilot's performance and human-technology integration with Hannes, with respect to a non-runner Hannes user.
methodsTwo transradial amputees were recruited as pilots (Pilot 1 and Pilot 2) for the Cybathlon competition and were given the polyarticulated myoelectric prosthetic hand Hannes. Due to COVID-19 emergency, only Pilot 1 was trained for the race. However, both pilots kept Hannes for Home Use for seven weeks. Before this period, they both participated to the evaluation of functionality, embodiment, and user experience (UX) related to Hannes, which they repeated at the end of the Home Use and right after the competition. We analysed Pilot 1's training and race outcomes, as well as changes in the concurrent evaluation, and compared these results with Pilot 2's ones.
resultsThe Cybathlon training gradually improved Pilot 1's performances, leading to the sixth place with a single error in task 5. In the parallel evaluation, both pilots had an overall improvement over time, whereas Pilot 2 experienced a deterioration of embodiment. In detail, Pilot 1, who followed the training and raced the Cybathlon, improved in greater way.
conclusionHannes demonstrated to be a valuable competitor and to perform grasps with human-like behaviors. The higher improvements of Pilot 1, who actively participated in the Cybathlon, in terms of functionality, embodiment and UX, may depend on his training and engagement in the effort of achieving a successful user-prosthesis interaction during the competition. Tasks based on Cybathlon's ones could improve the training phase of a prosthetic user, stimulating dexterity, prosthetic integration, and user perception towards the prosthesis. Likewise, timed races or competitions could facilitate and accelerate the learning phase, improving the efficiency and efficacy of the process.
