Bionicohand: a collaborative, open-source myoelectric prosthetic hand designed with and for its user.
Article in Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThis article introduces Bionicohand (BNH), an open-source, collaborative prosthetic hand developed in close partnership with a specific user (expert user)—who is also a co-author of this work. The design choices were driven by a focus on simplicity and practical usability.
methodsA detailed description of the BNH components is provided. The expert-user took part in the ARM discipline of Cybathlon 2024 using the BNH, results are presented and discussed. Following the event, evaluations were carried out with this same participant, including standardized functional performance tests and multiple grip force measurements, using both the BNH and the participant’s usual commercial prosthesis. The intention is to position BNH through objective evaluations in relation to this commercial prosthetic device.
resultsBNH finished at second position of the Cybathlon 2024. When analyzing the average execution times over the three races (qualifications and final) for the nine tasks that BNH was able to complete, its performance was superior to that of the two other finalist teams. The results of the evaluation protocol carried after the event, show the performance levels of the BNH are very close to those of the commercial prosthesis.
conclusionThe BNH was developed following an innovative co-design model, created with and for a specific user. When operated by the expert user, the prosthesis achieves performance levels comparable to those obtained with his commercial device.
