| Research Abstract |
We investigated a new assessment tool for prosthesis users hand function and the Japanese protocol of the Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure (SHAP).
We obtained a permission of the translation of the protocol by a SHAP's developer and translated into Japanese.A new assessment tool was undergone to 6 below-elbow amputees using body-powered protheses and the SHAP was used for the validity of a new assessment tool.The Japanese protocol of the SHAP was verified using the Simple Test for Evaluating Hand Function(STEF).We collected Japanese scores of the SHAP and compared with the standard scores of Britain.
