Pediatric prosthetic patient

Stephen Fletcher

I am looking for advice in regards the a patient. Here are the specifics:

11 month old male

congenital R mid level trans radial level residual limb.

full ROM at the elbow and shoulder

no other health issues.

Patient was referred by their Orthopedic M.D. for fitting of a prosthesis.

My experience with this young of a patient is limited. My questions are the following:

What age is it most appropriate to initiate treatment?

How about suspension of the prosthesis?

Passive hand type of terminal device? Specific reccomendations of brands?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Steve Fletcher, CPO

Shands Hospital at the University of Florida
