Dear list, I have a S/P traumatic 18 yr old dominent sideTranshumeral amp x 5wks post. He is nearly ready for his initial fitting. Several factors need to be considered I know. My question is what is the prevailing thought process on new amps working with myo vs conventional initial prostheses.

My thoughts are to fit him with a conventional, obtain stable volume and then look towards myo. Right now he is unsure as to what his vocation will be, but, avocational activities included skiing, fishing, hunting, roller blading etc. What are your thoughts?
