Fatigue-free operation of most body-powered prostheses not feasible for majority of users with trans-radial deficiency

BACKGROUND: Body-powered prostheses require cable operation forces between 33 and 131 N. The accepted upper limit for fatigue-free long-duration operation is 20% of a users’ maximum cable operation force. However, no information is available on users’ maximum force. OBJECTIVES: To quantify users’ ma...
