The 1, 103 upper-limb amputees who were onfiles in 3 prosthetics facilities in Kinki area of Japan were asked to join our study by mail, of which the 427 amputees answered our questionnaires. The average age of amputees was 55.7 years. Eighty-two percent of amputees were male and 18 percent were female. The average elapsed period from amputation to this survey was 23.7 years. Ninety-two percent of the amputees were caused by trauma (77% industrial accidents, 7% traffic accidents, 4% war, 14% other accidents), 5% by congenital amputations, 2% by diseases, and 1% by others. Fifty-six percent of the patients occupations at the time of amputation were the manual laborers. Whereas, only 13% were the manual laborers and 31% were unemployed at the time of this survey. Level of amputation were classified as follows: shoulder disarticulation (2%), above-elbow (32%), elbow disarticulation (4%), below-elbow (52%), wrist disarticulation (11%). Seventeen percent of the unilateral amputees were using two or more types of prostheses. Eighty percent of the amputees were using the cosmetic prostheses, 21% the body-powered prostheses, 11% the working prostheses, only 1% the electrically-powered prostheses, and 4% no prosthesis. Seventy-six percent of the amputees hoped to use the myoelectric hand. In 110 amputees who were amputated within recent 10 years, the average age of amputation time was 45.9 years, 90% of the amputees were caused by trauma. Forty-seven percent of them were users of the body-powered prostheses, 16% the working prostheses, and 2% the electrically-powered prostheses. In conclusion, the center of living upper-limb amputees were long elapsed, aged male amputees caused by the industrial accidents. In the amputees who received amputation within recent 10 years, main cause of amputation was still industrial injury, many of them were aged already at the time of amputation, and the number of amputees wearing body-powered prostheses was increasing.
