The low participant numbers perhaps reflect the relatively early stage of this field’s development and may also reflect the relatively small population of eligible research participants, particularly those with upper limb absence.All limb types and sizes. Their technology can be fit on all limb types from pediatric to obese (even over 400 pounds), any length residual limb, geriatric to athletic, and all amputation levels. Andrysek J.
