Upper Limb Prosthesis – Restoring Function, Restoring Confidence

Bringing Ability Back to Your Hands

An upper limb amputation can affect more than appearance—it influences how you eat, write, work, and connect with others. At Cornerstone Prosthetics and Orthotics Ltd, our upper limb prostheses are designed to restore function, independence, and confidence so you can engage in daily life with ease.

What is an Upper Limb Prosthesis?

An upper limb prosthesis is an artificial replacement for a missing hand, arm, or part of the limb. Depending on your needs, it may focus on:

  • Function – enabling gripping, holding, lifting, and other practical tasks.
  • Appearance – restoring natural look with custom silicone designs.
  • Combination – devices that balance cosmetic appeal with functional use.

🔹 Who Benefits from an Upper Limb Prosthesis?

 

  • Persons with amputations at different levels (partial hand, below elbow, above elbow).
  • Individuals who want to regain independence in eating, dressing, writing, and working.
  • Clients who desire discreet, natural cosmetic prostheses for social and emotional confidence.
  • Active users who require durable or specialized prostheses for sports, work, or hobbies.
