What are the main recommendations for the use of upper limb prostheses according to a literature review?

As amputations of upper limbs usually occur in young men due to the nature of work and leisure activities adopted by men.
Early prosthetic fitting is important for the rehabilitation process and can improve the functional use of the device in the future and positively influence the individual's return to productive activities.
The use of the prosthesis and its acceptance rates are directly related to the level of amputation. Individuals with more distal levels of amputation tend to make greater use of the equipment.
The success of using a prosthesis may be related to the use of the device on the dominant limb.
The decision on the use and model of the prosthesis depends on the collective work of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team. Surgeons, therapists, prosthetists, and psychologists should work together with the user and their family.
There is a standard prosthetic prescription for upper limb amputees. Most patients tend to prefer mechanical prostheses for daily living activities and social occasions.
