This editorial serves as the introduction to the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists State-of-the-Science Conference Proceedings covering the subject of upper-limb prosthetic control strategies. The purpose of the introduction is to orient consumers of the Proceedings regarding the breadth of its contents. Specifically, the conference centered about a systematic literature review comparing benefits of myoelectric and body-powered upper-limb prosthetic control options. The introduction lists the various perspectives such as clinical, engineering, and end-users represented at the face-to-face conference. It then introduces larger topics discussed by the conference participants, such as the traditional manner in which upper-limb prosthetic control strategies are introduced as well as viewpoints regarding standard of care.

Description
On September 16–17, 2016, the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists convened its 12th State of the Science Conference, with the event largely focused on the various control options and design types for upper-limb prostheses. Using a systematic review commissioned by the Academy and published by Carey et al. in 2015, a multinational, multidisciplinary panel was assembled to discuss a range of considerations and perspectives surrounding this topic. These perspectives included those of the clinical prosthetist in the private care setting, rehabilitation clinicians from US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and military health care settings, the physiatrist, the occupational therapist, the end user, global observations and trends, engineering, developing technologies, and associated medical procedures and outcome assessment.
