Simple Solutions For A Complex Problem: Variations Of A Transradial Myoelectric Prosthetic Design

Abstract

The prosthetic design being discussed is that of a tanstadial myoelectric, dual site-dual control system, The residual limb is, in this case, not the factor for variance of pi osthetic design, however, it is other extenuating circumstances that resulted from a fairly common surgical procedure. The patient fitted with this prosthesis was scheduled for a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), better known as the "cabbage procedure" In the weeks subsequent to this CABG the patient became a quadrimembral amputee.
