Abstract

For a case of thumb amputation, a temporary hand prosthesis was prepared using 3D technology. The preparation period was two days, and the time required for attaching the prothesis was about 25 minutes. Evaluation at 3 months showed improvement in ROM and upper limb function, as well as reduced difficulty in daily life. This production method is inexpensive, and the process is simple, suggesting that creating and fitting temporary prosthetics for finger amputees in the early stage has become easy.
