title: Technical note--test instructions for the technical testing of mono-functional myoelectrically-controlled prosthetic hands. A proposal.
abstract: To get an acceptable standard of prostheses and orthoses in Sweden, the Swedish Institute for the Handicapped is testing this group of aids. One important part of the work is to draw up test instructions. In response to a request from the Swedish Institute for the Handicapped, the Laboratory of Rehabilitation Engineering at the University Hospital of Linköping in Sweden, has suggested instructions for the technical testing of monofunctional myoelectrically controlled prosthetic inspection and control factors which are important for the function of the prosthetic hand.
