Three hundred and fourteen adult upper limb amputees were reviewed retrospectively at the Ontario Workers' Compensation Board. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the use of body and electrically powered prostheses. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 49 years with a mean of 15 years. Results indicated that complete or useful acceptance of an electrically powered prosthesis was reported by 69 of 83 amputees (83%); 199 of 291 amputees (68%) used the cable operated hook, 57 of 291 (20%) used the cable operated hand and 40 of 83 (48%) used the cosmetic prosthesis. The majority of amputees used more than one prosthesis for their functional needs and should be fitted with more than one type of prosthesis. Acceptance of an upper limb prosthesis by 89% (196/220) of below-elbow, 76% (56/74) of above-elbow and 60% (12/20) of high level amputees indicates that for most upper limb amputees, their prostheses are well used and essential to their personal and employment activities.
安大略省工人赔偿委员会对314名成年上肢截肢者进行了回顾性研究。通过问卷调查来评估身体驱动和电动假肢的使用情况。随访时间为1至49年，平均15年。结果显示，83名截肢者中有69名（83%）报告完全或有效地接受了电动假肢；291名截肢者中有199名（68%）使用了索控式假手，291名中有57名（20%）使用了索控式假手，83名中有40名（48%）使用了美容假肢。大多数截肢者根据功能需求使用不止一种假肢，因此应配备不止一种类型的假肢。肘关节以下截肢者中有89%（196/220）、肘关节以上截肢者中有76%（56/74）以及高位截肢者中有60%（12/20）接受了上肢假肢，这表明对于大多数上肢截肢者来说，他们的假肢得到了很好的使用，并且对他们的个人和就业活动至关重要。
