Colette of STEPS Prosthetics discusses the technology currently available, some of the differences in NHS and private provision of prosthetics and evolving technologies in upper limb rehabilitation.
Amputations to the upper limbs are typically less common and often more complex than those to the lower limbs and it is therefore unsurprising that the technology to replace and restore function in the upper limbs has been slower to develop.
