在安大略工人赔偿委员会对314名成年上肢截肢者进行了回顾性审查。问卷调查被用来评估使用的身体和电动假肢。随访时间为1至49年，平均15年。结果表明，83名截肢者中有69名（83%）报告完全或有效接受电动假体; 291名截肢者中有199名（68%）使用电缆操作钩，291名截肢者中有57名（20%）使用电缆操作手，83名截肢者中有40名（48%）使用美容假体。大多数截肢者使用一种以上的假肢来满足其功能需要，因此应安装一种以上的假肢。89%（196/220）的肘下截肢者、76%（56/74）的肘上截肢者和60%（12/20）的高位截肢者接受上肢假肢，表明对于大多数上肢截肢者来说，他们的假肢使用良好，对他们的个人和就业活动至关重要。
Three hundred and fourteen adult upper limb amputees were reviewed retrospectively at the Ontario Workers' Compensation Board. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the use of body and electrically powered prostheses. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 49 years with a mean of 15 years. Results indicated that complete or useful acceptance of an electrically powered prosthesis was reported by 69 of 83 amputees (83%); 199 of 291 amputees (68%) used the cable operated hook, 57 of 291 (20%) used the cable operated hand and 40 of 83 (48%) used the cosmetic prosthesis. The majority of amputees used more than one prosthesis for their functional needs and should be fitted with more than one type of prosthesis. Acceptance of an upper limb prosthesis by 89% (196/220) of below-elbow, 76% (56/74) of above-elbow and 60% (12/20) of high level amputees indicates that for most upper limb amputees, their prostheses are well used and essential to their personal and employment activities.
