Case Comparison of Electric Digits and 3D Printed Body Powered Hand Prosthesis

Comparing such devices is inherently problematic as one is body powered whereas the other is electric. 3D printing is a manufacturing process that has the potential to reduce cost and increase speed of production. The limitation of a single case study is understood and conclusions from this should be weighed against the sample size. [...]research including longer trials for subjective and quality of life improvements may provide more significant results and guidance for best practices in prosthetic management of patients with partial hand amputations.
