CLIN ORTHOP RELAT RES , 1986, n° 209, p. 202-205 Doc n°: 27439 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : EC154 - PROTHESE FONCTIONNELLE - MEMBRE SUPERIEUR Children with upper-limb deficiencies (congenital or traumatic) were fitted with an electrically powered upper-limb prosthesis in Ontario during the 18-year period of 1965-1983. Seventy-eight patients responded to a questionnaire or were interviewed by telephone. The dropout rate in children with a below-elbow amputation was similar to that reported in below-elbow amputation was similar to that reported in below-elbow child amputees wearing a conventional body powered prosthesis (10% vs. 13%). The acceptance rate in children with above-elbow amputations was higher in those wearing an electrically powered prosthesis than in those using the conventional prosthesis, testifying for improved prosthetic function in the former group.
