| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Children with upper limb deficiencies, which is a rare disease, has hypoplasia of bone and muscles throughout the affected side. Using the ultrasound imaging is a non-invasive evaluation method, was used to perform an anatomical evaluation of the condition of the muscles and bones of this disease. The difference and the characteristics in the anatomy of the affected limb were clarified by using the ultrasound imaging system.
We reported that participation in sports and extracurricular activities and use the myoelectric prostheses or the prostheses for activity use have encouraged and motivated the use of upper limb prostheses and get better the acceptance of prosthesis. Also, this improves the characteristics of children's motor skill behaviors. We reported that the reduction of motor skills in children with congenital upper extremity defects can be recovered by using functional prosthetic hands.

本研究により、先天性上肢欠損児の解剖学的な特徴を明らかにし、またその成長と共に運動スキルの弱みが生じるのが、義手の導入により改善し有効であることを明らかにした。
義手の診療実績が乏しい本邦では、十分な義手の診療供給体制が確立されているとはいえない。これにより将来的に、先天性上肢欠損児の身体機能の向上を目指した義肢の開発や、成長期の先天性上肢欠損児の抱える身体的な課題や社会的な問題点を解決し、最適なリハビリテーションプログラムを確立することにつなげることができる。
