TOTAL HAND PROSTHESIS
When the amputation is at the wrist level, simple
hand prosthesis can be made. The silicone material flexibility allows
holding light objects. Moreover the limb’s normal appearance
is restored, which eases socio-professional activities
PARTIAL HAND PROSTHESIS
Improving manual dexterity with the prosthesis, whenever possible,
is the objective to be pursued. In partial amputations of the hand,
when the thumb or one of the other fingers is left, the prosthesis
is designed so that it can be opposed to the palm of the prosthesis.
These two criteria, aesthetic and functional, make this kind of
prosthesis more difficult to fabricate, but more "natural"
in its appearance.
