The following two image loops from her video “Why I do not wear prosthetics” [link<\/a>], however, are heart breaking:<\/p>\n First of all, the cable setup here? Totally off the charts – no one builds a body powered arm like that. Not even when I put on my own cable mounts will it ever look like that. This really requires explanation.<\/p>\n Videos \/ GIFs (C) Copyright Kristie Sita<\/p>\n Secondly, excessive length of prosthesis – usually another indicator the prosthetist probably did not get proper parts to accommodate for a long residual limb, but just put together something from stale parts lying around in the shop.<\/p>\n Videos \/ GIFs (C) Copyright Kristie Sita<\/p>\n That is something as an Association of Prosthetists, that I would really, really be concerned about.<\/p>\n Personally, I think this is a great and illustrative, convincing and well made display of the poor and unacceptable setups we risk to be given. Hell, even my prosthetist here tried to persuade me that 3 cm excessive length was impossible to fix, at first, so I had to jump start my own activities in prosthetics real fast [link<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n Kristie Sita has a Youtube channel, where she details some of her own below elbow amputee experiences. I recommend her channel with regard to her experiences in this context.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[320,16,5,20,17,26,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bad-example","category-brands","category-cable","category-harness","category-otto-bock","category-prosthetic-hand","category-prosthetics","wpcat-320-id","wpcat-16-id","wpcat-5-id","wpcat-20-id","wpcat-17-id","wpcat-26-id","wpcat-8-id"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-07 00:36:39","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11944"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11944\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11948,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11944\/revisions\/11948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.swisswuff.ch\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/kristiesitaprosthesis2.gif\")
