Upper limb prosthetic use in SloveniaBurger, Helena ; Marinček, ČrtThe article deals with the use of different types of upper limb prostheses in Slovenia. Four hundred and fourteen upper limb amputees were sent a questionnaire on the type of their prosthesis, its ... use and reasons for non-use, respectively. The replies were subject to statistical analysis. Most of the questioned upper limb amputees (70 percent) wear a prosthesis only for cosmesis. The use of a prosthesis depends on the level of upper limb amputation, loss of the dominant hand, and time from amputation. Prosthetic success appears to be unrelated to age at the time of amputation and the rehabilitation programme. The most frequent reason for not wearing a prosthesis is heat and consequent sweating of the stump. More than a third of amputees are dissatisfied with their prostheses.Source: Prosthetics and orthotics international. - ISSN 0309-3646 (Vol. 18, no. 1, 1994, str. 25-33)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 1994Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 54489
