I am looking for Rob, a couple of years ago; he posted the following
response to a question on the list serve. I would appreciate it if
anyone can guide me to rob (I hope I'm not stabbing in the dark:-))
Ilse Vermeulen (BPO NZ)
John,I have anecdotal experience with four long time UE amputees. One
pt. is Vietnam AE amputee. He has been in a standard conventional TH
prosthesis. He reports some sside affected tingling but not too
bad.Onset unknown but gradually increasing symptom severity.One is
Vietnam BE amputee. He had severe Radial and ulnar nerve problems
resulting in his ability to get approved for a myoelectric arm which
took care of the problem. One pt. is WWII TH amputee. From his first
arm, he refused the axilla loop and went with a shoulder saddle design.
He has no problems with his sound side. Last pt. is an amputee from MVC
in 1969. He has always had conventionals and experiences problems with
his sound side to the point that he only wears his prosthesis when he
has to. Problems are Carpal tunnel, tingling and slight neuropathy.Hope
this helps,
Rob
