I am looking for statistics on UPPER LIMB AMPUTEES with prostheses. How many
total amputees, annual increase and what % actually use prostheses? How many
in US/worldwide? Types of prostheses? Average cost to patient? Age ranges?
 Cause of amputation -- % - disease, trauma, birth defects, other?
Occupations? Economic levels? Geographics? Common complaints/improvements
requested?
Thanks in advance for any info furnished.
