Based on recent advances in prosthetic technology available for individuals with
partial hand loss or deficiency, research is needed to best ensure the acceptance
of these devices. Additionally, this population is subjected to higher risks of
overuse syndromes. With improved technological advances in prosthetic devices,
clients can engage in more complex activities with less compensation. The purpose
of this study was to describe the tasks identified as both difficult and
important to individuals with partial hand loss. Recommendations will be provided
regarding matching users' individualized goals with considerations in prosthetic
design, functional training, programming, and adaptive equipment.
