To all:

Recently, I have attended some lectures where treatment protocols for upper
extremity amputees call for provision of both body powered and external
powered prostheses for the same patient (specifically returning service
connected veterans from Iraq/Afghanistan). Does anyone know the reasoning
for these protocols?
