A shoulder disarticulation prosthesis (SDP), also called a full artificial limb, is an artificial upper limb that replaces an amputated limb at shoulder level. It is utilized for individuals with amputations or congenital absences of the complete arm involving the hand, forearm, elbow, and upper arm through the shoulder joint.
An SDP consists of a socket that attaches to the residual limb, a mechanical elbow joint, a wrist unit, and a hand or terminal device. The mechanical elbow joint enables bending and extension movements, while the wrist unit and terminal device offer grip and manipulation capabilities. With proper fitting and therapy, an SDP allows patients to resume their daily activities (e.g eating, dressing, writing) independently.
