The value of fitting adult upper limb amputees with electrically powered prostheses is assessed. In a series of 164 amputees, complete or useful acceptance of an electrically powered prosthesis was recorded in 80% of below-elbow amputees, 69% of above-elbow amputees and 72% of high level amputees. Patients expressed satisfaction with the combination of comfort, cosmesis and function. Results indicate that, accepting the high cost, an electrically powered prosthesis can provide important function to the upper limb amputee.
