The article deals with the use of different types of upper limb prostheses in Slovenia. Four hundred and fourteen upper limb amputees were sent a questionnaire on the type of their prosthesis, its use and reasons for non-use, respectively. The replies were subject to statistical analysis. Most of the questioned upper limb amputees (70%) wear a prosthesis only for cosmesis. The use of a prosthesis depends on the level of upper limb amputation, loss of the dominant hand, and time from amputation. Prosthetic success appears to be unrelated to age at the time of amputation and the rehabilitation programme. The most frequent reason for not wearing a prosthesis is heat and consequent sweating of the stump. More than a third of amputees are dissatisfied with their prostheses.
本文探讨了斯洛文尼亚不同类型上肢假肢的使用情况。分别向414名上肢截肢者发放了关于其假肢类型、使用情况及不使用原因的调查问卷。对回复进行了统计分析。大多数接受调查的上肢截肢者（70%）佩戴假肢仅为了美观。假肢的使用取决于上肢截肢的部位、优势手的丧失情况以及截肢后的时间。假肢的成功使用似乎与截肢时的年龄和康复计划无关。不佩戴假肢最常见的原因是残肢发热及随之而来的出汗。超过三分之一的截肢者对他们的假肢不满意。
