I had a prosthesis that only moved the first two fingers and the thumb but no wrist flexion. The problem with it was the weight of the entire arm. Hopefully the weight is lighter on the i-limb. Insurance doesn't cover any of this cost if it's congenital. I am a congenital amputee as well as a registered nurse in pediatrics for over 25 years.

It has limitations and is not suitable to be used in logging industry and operating heavy equipement. Please advise.
