Training is crucial to develop the ability to operate a myoelectric prosthetic hand and use it in daily life. Multigrip prostheses, with their wider repertoire of functions, require further training. Because studies show that prosthesis abandonment is an issue and the advanced functions are not used to the expected extent, the question of what training should be offered to patients arises. If the available training methods were synthesized, the training could be improved to the benefit of the people who are fitted with a multigrip prosthesis.
