  Abstract                 = {Most transhumeral amputees deplore that their prosthesis lacks functionality due to control-related limitations. Externally powered prosthetic devices are commonly controlled via myoelectric control whereby biceps and triceps contractions drive sequentially the prosthetic joints. Because of a complex control scheme, transhumeral amputees are generally equipped with a 1-degree-of-freedom myoelectric hand, a myoelectric wrist rotator, and a manually locked elbow, despite the commercialization of more advanced devices. This results in the development of compensatory strategies to overcome the prosthesis’ lack of mobility. An alternative control strategy relates the residual limb motions to the prosthetic elbow motion using the natural coordination between shoulder and elbow observed in healthy movements. However, conventional external sockets tend to prevent the residual limb mobility, limiting the potentiality of this novel control strategy. Osseo-integration enables a stable attachment of the prosthetic device and frees the residual limb. This study focuses on the performance of three osseo-integrated patients using an automatically driven prosthesis.},
