Popis: | Prosthesis comfort, function, and appearance are the primary goals in fitting upper limb prostheses. Recent use of silicone materials for the fabrication of prosthetic sockets has expanded the fitting options for upper limb amputees and enhanced these three fundamental prosthetic features for management of long transradial through partial hand amputees. |
