PROS AND CONS OF THE CAPP TERMINAL
Creator:

Text:
Our facility makes wide use of the CAPP terminal on our pediatric clients.
While the appearance of the CAPP to some, leaves much to be desired, we have
found it to be the most versatile terminal for both congenital and acquired
UE pediatric amputees.
How widely is the CAPP terminal used in private practices? Have any of you
who prescribe the CAPP found that the parents and child have a difficult time
accepting the appearance of the CAPP? We have found that after some time
wearing the CAPP both the parents and child are more accepting of it.
The one thing we have found is that as the child matures, some activities
such as bike riding present some difficulties for the CAPP wearer. Also we
have discovered that the positioning and transfer functions are very
important to the CAPP wearer.
Thank you for any information.
