One of the most important parameters of prosthesis rehabilitation is to determine the most suitable prosthesis in patients with upper
extremity amputation. When deciding on the prosthesis, the clinical features of the amputee should be highly matched with the
predicted prosthesis. Prescribing the most suitable prosthesis and minimizing the mismatch can be possible with a detailed prosthetic
evaluation.
