Brief Summary

Myoelectrically controlled arm prostheses are often offered to individuals with upper extremity limb loss in order to restore body balance and compensate for the lack of grasping ability during the rehabilitation process. Myoelectrically controlled prostheses utilize the presence of two independent signals from a set of agonist and antagonist muscles. However, individuals with upper extremity amputation may not want to use their prosthesis. One of the reasons for not wanting to use the prosthesis is prosthesis dissatisfaction. This study aims to evaluate prosthesis satisfaction and the effect of prosthesis use on daily living activities of upper extremity amputees using myoelectric controlled prosthesis.

Detailed Description

The study will be carried out with patients who applied to the outpatient clinic or who received inpatient treatment in the orthopedic rehabilitation (amputee) clinic. The patient's demographic information (age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, education level, occupation, marital status) and clinical characteristics (amputation date, cause of injury, amputation side, etc.) will be recorded with the evaluation to be made to the patient. Patients' satisfaction with using their prosthesis will be evaluated with TAPES (Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale) and daily living activities using their prosthesis with SF-36 (Short Form-36).
