Abstract

Amputation surgery is a life-altering experience, profoundly impacting an individual's ability to perform daily tasks and engage in their chosen activities. Upper extremity prostheses have advanced remarkably, offering diverse solutions to restore functionality and enhance the quality of life for amputees. This article provides a comprehensive examination of the various types of upper extremity prostheses available today, highlighting their unique features, advantages, and limitations. This article categorizes upper extremity prostheses into three main types: body-powered prostheses, myoelectric prostheses, and advanced prosthetic technologies. Passive prostheses are generally designed to replicate the appearance of the missing limb. Body-powered prostheses rely on cables and harnesses for control, offering affordability and durability. Myoelectric prostheses employ electromyography (EMG) signals from residual muscles for intuitive and precise control. Advanced prosthetic technologies, including neural interfaces and 3D printing, are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in terms of functionality and customization. This article aims to serve as a valuable resource for upper extremity surgeons to help guide options and even optimize surgical plans to allow individuals to maximize the use of upper extremity prostheses.

上肢截肢的假体选择与处理

截肢手术是一种改变人生的经历，深刻影响着个人执行日常任务和参与所选活动的能力。上肢假肢取得了显著的进步，为截肢者提供了多种恢复功能和提高生活质量的解决方案。本文对目前可用的各种类型的上肢假体进行了全面的检查，强调了它们的独特特点、优势和局限性。本文将上肢假肢分为三种主要类型：身体动力假肢、肌电假肢和先进的假肢技术。被动假肢的设计通常是为了复制缺失肢体的外观。身体动力假肢依靠电缆和线束进行控制，提供经济实惠和耐用性。肌电假肢采用来自残余肌肉的肌电图（EMG）信号进行直观和精确的控制。包括神经接口和3D打印在内的先进假肢技术正在突破功能和定制方面的极限。本文旨在为上肢外科医生提供宝贵的资源，帮助指导选择，甚至优化手术计划，使个人能够最大限度地使用上肢假体。
