Based on recent advances in prosthetic technology available for individuals with partial hand loss or deficiency, research is needed to best ensure the acceptance of these devices. Additionally, this population is subjected to higher risks of overuse syndromes. With improved technological advances in prosthetic devices, clients can engage in more complex activities with less compensation. The purpose of this study was to describe the tasks identified as both difficult and important to individuals with partial hand loss. Recommendations will be provided regarding matching users' individualized goals with considerations in prosthetic design, functional training, programming, and adaptive equipment.
基于目前可用于部分手部缺失或功能不全患者的假肢技术进展,需要开展研究以最大程度确保这些设备被接受。此外,这一人群面临过度使用综合征的更高风险。随着假肢设备技术的进步,患者能够以更少的代偿进行更复杂的活动。本研究的目的是描述被确定为对部分手部缺失患者既困难又重要的任务。将就如何将用户的个性化目标与假肢设计、功能训练、编程及适配设备等方面的考量相匹配提供建议。
