    AbstractAmong the prosthetic and orthotic appliances available, neither a conventional mechanical prosthesis nor the myoelectric control system provided optimal results for a 19-year-old patient with a traumatic, irreversible paralysis of the brachial plexus and below-elbow amputation. A new device was therefore constructed that combined the mechanical pull of the first system and the electric hand of the second. Its functions, the training program, and the end result are reported.
