After initial rehabilitation including surface EMG signal training a hybrid prosthetic arm is mounted onto the functionless plexus arm. The patient controls it with the EMG signals identified and trained previously. This allows a prediction of future prosthetic control. The results of the objective hand function tests using the hybrid arm are video-documented and need to be superior to original upper extremity function before elective amputation of the plexus arm may be considered.
