Evaluation of a myoelectric hand prosthesis for children with a below-elbow absence. 1985

M A Mendez

A clinical evaluation of a myoelectric hand prosthesis was carried out within a multicentre trial in three centres in the United Kingdom. The aim was to assess its effectiveness as an acceptable device for young children and to evaluate its technical efficiency. The trial ran for 2 3/4 years and included 87 children. The methodology used and the results obtained are presented with indications towards future developments.
