The choice of arm prosthesis is customized according to the individual's needs, lifestyle and activities. Prosthodontists help to choose the most suitable prosthesis by evaluating the characteristics and wishes of the person. Here are the factors to consider when choosing an arm prosthesis:

 

Type of surgery: The choice of arm prosthesis may vary depending on the type of surgery. For example, if a wrist, elbow, or shoulder prosthesis is required instead of the entire arm, this may require a different prosthesis selection.

 

Purpose of use: The person's daily activities, hobbies and work play an important role in the selection of prosthesis. For example, dentures used while playing sports may have different properties than dentures designed for daily use.

 

Prosthetic material: Arm prostheses are made of different materials. For example, carbon fiber, a lightweight, durable and flexible material, reduces the weight of the prosthesis while increasing its mobility.

 

Control mechanism: Some arm prostheses provide movement control using muscle signals. Such prostheses allow the person to feel more natural in control.

 

Level of customization: Some arm prostheses can be customized to suit the individual's needs and wishes. For example, the colors, design and accessories of the prosthesis can be customized.

 

As a result, the choice of arm prosthesis is determined by the needs and wishes of the person. Prosthodontists help to choose the most suitable prosthesis by evaluating the characteristics and wishes of the person.
