✦ Synopsis

Experience with gas-powered arms for thalidomide children, among others, was also disappointing. Initially 60 children used the arms but, over the years, all but two ceased to use them. Research efforts in this country, undertaken in conjunction with the manufacturers, have concentrated on the extension and improvement of manually operated prostheses. There is a substantial programme of research into both artificial arms and legs. The cost in 1977/78 was about £500 000.
