Dear Sir/Madam:
>
> I need to find out about installation of arms and elbows to a 26 year old amputee who lost both arms and elbows in a fodder cutting machine. The patient is a citizen and resident of Pakistan, and in otherwise good health. I am interested in finding out:
> Weather myoelectric prosthesis can be developed/purchased in the U.S and installed by an expert in Pakistan, or, if not then,
> How long would the patient have to stay on the U.S. for installation of the same
> A ball park figure for the costs involved
>
> We plan to visit the U.S shortly and would very much appreciate some advance info to plan my visit while in the U.S.
>
> Thank you
