I lost my right arm above th elbow and most of my shoulder function 6 years ago.

Because of other injuries, I was not able to use a prosthetic early on.

I used a socket and harness with myoelectric elbow, wrist, and hand. An awsome peice of equipment.

But.

Isnt there always a but ?

The user interface is the "but" in my case.

# I sweated to the point where the socket slid all around until the myo wouldnt work.

# I dont have time to spend 10 minutes everytime i want to put it on/off.

# I dont like the rash.

# It is a bitch to get dressed with it on.

So. Enough sooking.

I work fulltime in IT' and live a full life without a right arm at all.

I would like to discuss Ossieointergration.

Would it assist me ?

I incured a trashed left shoulder at the same time, so am thinking that an arm i can use will help take a bit of the load off it.

Cheers, David :-)
