About Project

Hand and finger amputations are the most common upper limb amputation and many new prosthetic solutions are now available. The best reason to use a partial hand prosthesis is that you are more likely to use the affected side of your body instead of hiding it in your pocket. Many people say it is easier to hold spare change, grasp irregularly shaped objects, stabilize papers, and so much more.
Many people with finger and thumb amputations will use one prosthesis for work and play, and another prosthesis for social activities. Electronically-powered partial hands and fingers work well in medium-duty settings and are designed for people seeking myoelectric control of a partial hand. Body-powered partial hands and fingers are excellent choices for heavy-duty work and play. Silicone fingers and hands are best in light-duty settings and offer a more natural appearance with the precise matching of skin tones and contours.
