1-4 digit prosthesis

Ensure digits can close adequately into palmar aspect of socket:

  • Opposition of prosthetic digits with an intact thumb
  • Supination of the digits can often be required to obtain optimum opposition for grasp
  • This can look/feel unnatural to the client initially
  • Assess range of motion of thumb, ideally gross grasp, tripod, pinch and lateral grips should be achievable, if thumb range is limited a compromised positioned may be necessary
