| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined whether using upper limb prosthesis is adequate for development or motor function in upper limb amputee children. Study participants revealed that their motor skills are decreasing with age. However, the introduction of upper limb prosthesis from early childhood may be able to suppress the decline of motor skills, we could clarify the effectiveness of upper limb prosthesis as a treatment for upper limb amputee children.
