A rehabilitation program is described for unilateral below-elbow amputees resulting in prosthesis acceptance in 9 out of 16 patients 1-4 years after application. The features of the program were information and early training of stump muscles after amputation, application of prosthesis as early as possible, and extensive information and follow-up at regular intervals for about one year. Technical service was given special attention and each patient had access to a spare prosthesis. At a follow-up examination the results of two functional performance tests were compared with a subjective clinical rating and with a rating of acceptance. The functional tests yielded equally much information about function as the conventional clinical ratings. Technical skill in controlling the prosthesis was found not to be related to acceptance.
本文描述了一项针对单侧肘下截肢患者的康复计划，该计划实施1至4年后，16名患者中有9名接受了假肢。该计划的特点包括截肢后残肢肌肉的信息提供和早期训练、尽早安装假肢，以及在大约一年的时间里定期提供广泛的信息和随访。特别关注技术服务，每位患者都能获得备用假肢。在随访检查中，将两项功能性能测试的结果与主观临床评分和接受程度评分进行了比较。功能测试所提供的功能信息与传统临床评分相当。结果发现，控制假肢的技术技能与接受程度无关。
