The authors describe their experience myoelectric prostheses, with incidents of minor
trauma, to users of which is thought to be associated with electrochemical bums arising
from a dc potential existing between electrodes. These incidents have occurred over
the period 1968 - 1996, in Winnipeg, Toronto and Fredericton. A possible mechanism
is suggested for electrochemical burns where a dc potential of one volt or more exists.
Finally, recommendations are made for increased vigilance concerning this possible
problem.
