Abstract
For those with levels of loss above the elbow, the normal prescription choice is now considered to be the use of an electric elbow combined with a myoelectric hand using a single site three state control. The lightweight VASI unit controlled by a harness mounted switch is mounted in a prosthesis the socket of which is total contact, and allows improved power transfer.
