disarticulation and knee disarticulation can be addressed with the system us­ing a modified foot or knee joint with a low-profile attachment coupling.
In the lower limb system, a wide range of alignment adjustments are possible through the attachment/align­ment couplings. This includes convex/ concave disks for tilt/shift, as well as sliding surfaces for shifting and rotation (Figure 12). The various sections are locked in place during alignment using bolts and secured with plastic welding after the alignment process is complete. Allowing for alignment changes from standard bench alignment through­out the dynamic alignment process and even after the prosthesis is fitted represents an important functional advantage in achieving optimized and energy- efficient gait.

The cost for this system is generally less than for other commercially available pros­thetic parts. Sockets are typically drape­formed from polypropylene sheets, which limits the range of raw materials that must be stored. The need for chem­ical storage and the regulation of ambi­ent temperature frequently associated with composite/lamination materials, which can be a challenge in LRSs, is also reduced.

manufacturing methods can improve the consistency of outcomes, resulting in lighter and more durable prostheses than can be achieved and maintained by locally made devices fabricated in LRSs.
Another benefit is that the inter­changeable parts can be used across many amputation levels, further lim­iting the range of materials that must be kept in inventory. This simplifies the supply chain, and for organizations that import parts, this system offers a simple, cost-effective way to manage high-volume individual needs. Studies of prosthetic systems in LRSs indicate that the ICRC system is appropriate for both transtibial and transfemoral applications.

Jaipur Foot
The Jaipur Foot is part of a prosthetic limb system linked with several pros­thetic/orthotic centers in India. It has also been used within short-term inter­national fitting camps in other countries.
The Jaipur Foot (Figure 15) was first developed in 1968 to meet the sociocul­tural needs of individuals with disabil­ities in India. The foot was designed to allow the user to squat; sit cross-legged; walk on uneven terrain; work in wet, muddy fields; and walk without shoes. The foot does not have a central keel and aims to allow a wide range of mo­tion through the foot-ankle assembly. This vulcanized rubber foot is reported to be waterproof. Its design is cultur­ally appropriate, low cost, and widely used in India.26 It has higher rates of

deformation in independent static load­ing tests and higher rates of delamina­tion when compared with other feet during cyclical load tests.20 However, the technical quality of the Jaipur Foot can be considered acceptable and is bet­ter than that observed and reported by ISPO for some SACH foot designs aimed at low-income countries.
The Jaipur transtibial prosthetic system uses high-density polyethylene pipes for both the socket and shank and is an exoskeletal design (Figure
16). The system is designed for quick fitting (usually within 1 day) but of­fers limited dynamic alignment and maintenance. The Jaipur transfemo­ral prosthesis is also fabricated from high-density polyethylene pipes and offers a single-axis knee with or with­out a lock.

Summary
An LRS is usually a low- or middle­income geographic area that is at a stage of economic and/or social development in which resources are insufficient to meet the needs of a population. There are many strategies that can be used to help meet the needs of individuals who could benefit from prosthetic services in an LRS. When resources are scarce, optimizing the efficiency of services is vital. Training a professional work force is important for the delivery of appro­priate services; WHO and ISPO have developed international standards and guidelines for such training. Because the range of appropriate, available technol­ogy and access to materials and equip­ment are limited in an LRS, further research and development are needed to identify technologies, materials, methods, and equipment that are cost effective and do not adversely affect the quality of services provided to individ­uals with prosthetic and orthotic needs.

Upper Limb Body-Powered Components
Andrea Hess, CP
Abstract
Body-powered prostheses remain the most commonly prescribed category of upper limb prosthesis. A range of terminal devices, including both hooks and hands, are commercially available, along with a number of dierent wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints. A comprehensive understanding of the various features, benets, and limitations of these component options will allow the rehabilitation team to match their detailed prosthetic recommendations to the needs and preferences of the individual user.
Keywords: body-powered components; cable-driven; conventional prosthesis; upper-limb prosthetic components
Introduction
Body-powered prostheses are the most commonly prescribed upper limb prostheses for individuals with am­putations and limb differences. They have been used for centuries and re­main popular among clinicians and users. In contrast to externally pow­ered prostheses, which draw power from an external, nonanatomic source such as a battery to drive the motors of prosthetic components, body-powered prostheses use gross body movements to operate the prosthetic components. These motions increase the distance between two points on the body, and this linear increase is referred to as excursion. The excursion is cap­tured with a harness and transmit­ted through a cable system to cause movement of the hand, hook, wrist, or elbow. For this reason, body-powered prostheses are sometimes referred to as cable-driven prostheses. Different components require various amounts of excursion to open, close, or other­wise operate.
Neither Ms. Hess nor any immediate family member has received anything of value from or has stock or stock options held in a commercial company or institution related directly or indirectly to the subject of this chapter.
Body-powered designs have re­mained popular over the years because they offer many advantages over other systems. They are low cost, lightweight, and reliable. Many users prefer their mechanical simplicity and predictable response. Because the user can feel the cable tension and force during opera­tion, body-powered systems offer a level of proprioception not generally avail­able with externally powered prosthe­ses. These benefits, combined with the fine prehension offered by hooks, result in an extremely functional device for everyday tasks. Body-powered systems also are suitable for heavy-duty activities and for use in dirty, wet, and corrosive environments.
Body-powered prostheses also have many disadvantages. Some methods of operating cable-controlled systems re­quire substantial force and effort. Some harnessing approaches used to anchor the control cable can compress the axilla on the contralateral side, which can be uncomfortable and may lead to nerve compression over time. Individuals with
a high-level limb absence usually find it difficult to generate the excursion and power necessary to operate a body­powered hand and elbow. Similarly, shorter limbs have reduced lever arms and smaller areas over which forces can be distributed, potentially resulting in difficulty generating the necessary oper­ating power or creating discomfort from the extreme forces on the limb.
Despite these challenges, and even in the presence of advancing externally powered technologies, body-powered designs maintain an important place in the prescription of upper limb pros­theses. A recent survey of clinicians reported that those with the most ex­perience in upper limb prosthetics were less likely to believe body-powered pros­theses were outdated.

Terminal Devices
The terminal device is the most distal component of an upper limb prosthesis and is designed to replace the functions of the human hand. Terminal devices are available in many shapes, sizes, and designs, each with its own benefits, drawbacks, and specific uses. Passive terminal devices are static, whereas ac­tive terminal devices have some type of grasping capability.
Passive Prostheses
The terms passive and cosmetic are of­ten used interchangeably, but they do not have the same meaning. The term passive is a functional description that indicates the terminal device or prosthe­sis does not have an actively controlled grasping capability. Cosmetic is a visual and aesthetic description indicating the terminal device or prosthesis is visually

appealing or lifelike. A passive pros­thesis may or may not be cosmetically appealing depending on its design and purpose. A prosthesis also may contain passive and active elements (for exam­ple, a body-powered terminal device with a passive elbow or shoulder).
Passive terminal devices include hands, mitts, and devices designed specifically for sports, recreation, or vocation. Specially shaped devices that facilitate targeted activities, such as swimming, playing baseball, or hold­ing a nail, are included in this cate gory because they do not have an active, cable-controlled grasp. Passive termi­nal devices are lightweight and typi­cally do not require a harness; however, a harness may be needed in high-level amputations.
Passive hands are available in various sizes, shapes, and configurations (Fig- ures 1, 2, and 3). Many passive hands have bendable or spring-loaded fingers that provide a static grasp when posi­tioned appropriately by the contralateral hand. In some cases, the prosthetist can

adjust the force required to open the hand to meet the needs of the patient. The natural appearance, lightweight design, and minimal (or no) harness is appealing to many patients (Figures 1 and 2). Most passive hands position the thumb and fingers in opposition, but other designs are available (Figure 3).
Despite lacking an active grasp, passive hands and other cosmetic pros­theses can perform many important functions. Patients may use them to support and stabilize objects and to re­store some bimanual activities. Utensils, tools, and grooming instruments can be wedged between the fingers and used effectively. The functional extension of the residual limb to anatomic length allows the patient to use the prosthesis to push, pull, carry, hold, and balance objects more easily. One study reported that, for nonmanipulative actions, pas­sive prostheses were used functionally during everyday tasks as frequently as those with an active grasp.

Active Prehensor Devices
The two primary characteristics to consider when choosing a terminal device with active prehension are the mode of operation and the shape of the device. Body-powered systems have a voluntary-opening (VO) or voluntary-closing (VC) mode of oper­ation or control strategy. These desig­nations refer to the resting state of the terminal device and whether it opens or closes when the user pulls on the control cable.
VO terminal devices are closed at rest, and pulling on the control cable opens the device. Grip strength is a product of the force generated by the rubber bands or springs holding the ter
­minal device closed and remains con­stant unless the device is held open and modulated by the user. In contrast, VC terminal devices are naturally open at rest and are pulled closed by the control cable. Grip strength is determined by

Chapter 11: Upper Limb Body-Powered Components
the amount of tension the user exerts on the control cable, which allows con­tinuously variable grip strength.
Both strategies have advantages and disadvantages. The grip strength of VO terminal devices must be configured to provide the strongest grasp that the user needs and can repeatedly generate through the harness and control cable. This factor has important implications because every time users open the ter­minal device they must overcome the full grip strength of the device irrespec­tive of the strength needed for a given task. In addition, when handling deli­cate objects, users must maintain appro­priate tension on the cable to prevent crushing the object within its grasp. These related requirements can lead to fatigue, muscle strain, and compression of the contralateral axilla.
Higher pinch forces can be achieved in VC systems, because they are not limited by rubber bands or springs. The pinch force can be light or strong because it is determined by the user rather than the mechanical design. In addition, the graded prehension in pro­portion to applied effort may offer great­er proprioception than other control mechanisms. Manipulation of delicate items often requires less overall work because the user needs only to main­tain sufficient tension to hold an object and can relax the tension without fear of crushing it.
If the VC terminal device does not contain an associated locking mech­anism, the user must apply continu­ous cable tension to maintain grasp. Although this process is normal phys­iologically, some patients find this re­quirement objectionable and prefer other terminal devices. This drawback can be addressed with a system such as the Sure-Lok Voluntary Closing Locking Mechanism (TRS). A small switch on the forearm of the unit clamps down on the cable and holds the terminal de­vice in the desired prehensile position (Figure 4).
Although overall power requirements for VC systems may be lower, excur­sion requirements are greater because, whereas VO systems can be opened only part way with minimal excursion and still be useful for many activities, VC systems require full excursion to closely approximate the opposing grip surfac­es in a similar manner. Therefore, care should be taken when prescribing VC systems for patients with more proximal amputations who desire active elbow control. The harness design also must conserve as much excursion as pos­sible. Acceptance for VC terminal de­vices has been greatest in children and individuals with unilateral transradial amputation, particularly those with long residual limbs.
Members of the rehabilitation team should understand that the choice be­tween a VO and a VC terminal device is not merely a selection of device char­acteristics. Rather, it will affect the en­tire mode of operation of the prosthesis across all of the user’s activities.
VO Hooks
The original split-hook design was cre­ated in 1912 by David W. Dorrance, an upper limb amputee, to provide active prehension as opposed to the then­traditional, passive C-shaped pirate hook. The split-hook design has two fingers or tines that meet side by side and hold objects between them.
VO hooks vary in construction materials, size, configuration, coating options, and tension mechanisms. An extensive variety of VO hook is avail­able (Figure 5). Although VO hooks were originally made of stainless steel, aluminum hooks have become increas­ingly common because of their reduced weight and are sufficient for most users. For individuals who require a more du­rable material than aluminum but find steel too heavy, titanium constructs are available. As material technology and manufacturing improve, hooks are be­coming available in composite materials

that are lightweight and resistant to cor­rosion (Figure 6).
Hooks are available in a range of in­fant to adult sizes. The most common shape is the canted design, which allows users to roll objects into their grasp with good visibility, but this design is less suited to picking up very small objects such as pins (Figure 5, A). An alterna­tive style has a symmetric, rounded inte­rior with lyre-shaped fingers, which are better suited for grasping cylindric ob­jects and picking up small items; how­ever, it can partially obstruct the user’s ability to see what they are manipulating from some angles (Figure 5, B). Because most amputees find the canted approach satisfactory, the lyre shape tends to be more commonly prescribed for individ­uals with bilateral upper limb amputa­tions for use on the nondominant side to provide an alternative prehension pat­tern optimized for cylindric objects. The combination of one canted hook and one lyre-shaped hook offers the individual with bilateral upper limb loss the ability to grasp objects with different shapes.
A variation on the canted design is the farmer’s hook, characterized by a wider opening than other hooks to fa­cilitate holding shovel handles and sim­ilar objects (Figure 7, A). This type of heavy-duty, stainless steel hook is com­monly prescribed as a terminal device for adult men who perform manual la­bor. The specialized fingers have several subtle contours that facilitate holding, grasping, and carrying objects such as buckets, chisels, knives, and carpentry tools. This design is also available with
