This paper discusses the enhancement of the Assessment of Capacity for Myoelectric Control (ACMC) with the introduction of three new assessment items specifically designed for multi-articulating prosthetic hands. With the advent of these advanced prosthetics, assessing a user's capability to effectively operate them in functional tasks becomes crucial. The new ACMC items bridge the existing evaluation gap by focusing on the nuanced control skills required by users with upper limb loss or difference (ULL/D). This innovation, achieved through a collaborative effort among clinical and prosthetic researchers, utilizes video analysis and consensus to ensure these items accurately measure the adeptness in controlling multi-articulating hands during bimanual activities.
