Myoelectric prosthesis is a useful tool for congenital upper limb deficiency children in terms of expanding their activity and participation. However, very few children use myoelectric prosthesis in Japan. Hyogo Rehabilitation Center have introduced a framework in 2002 to allow children to undergo training and the fitting of a myoelectric prosthesis at any time. We have trained more than 70 children with upper limb deficiency. We report the results of 15 years’ experience of myoelectric prosthesis training for children and elucidate the current problem and future perspective.
