Key Points

This research aims to explore the role of artificial intelligence in improving the functionality of upper limb prosthetics and its impact on rehabilitation processes.
Study design
Utilized AI-driven upper limb prosthetics
Evaluated user functionality in rehabilitation settings
AI-driven prosthetics showed a 25% increase in user functionality (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5-3.5, p=0.002).
Enhanced user satisfaction scores were reported, with a median score increase of 30% (p<0.01).
Improvement in rehabilitation outcomes was significantly faster for users with AI prosthetics, indicating a reduced recovery time.
