am·pu·tate [am-pyoo-teyt] 1. to cut off (all or part of a limb or digit of the body), as by surgery. 2. to prune, lop off, or remove

Upper Extremity Amputation Amputation above the waist (Finger, hand, or arm).

CAUSES Diabetes and foot ulcers are the main factors leading to the amputation of a limb in the United States. Traumatic Injury: Severe burns, gunshot wounds and car accidents are possible causes of traumatic injury. Disease: Various diseases can cause irreversible destruction to body tissues. Cancer: While it can cause severe damage to tissues, cancer can also cause necessary amputations in order to prevent malignant tumors from spreading. Congenital amputation: A developing limb within the womb can have its blood flow constricted by other bands of tissue. When that happens, the limb can be lost permanently, and the baby is born with a congenital amputation.

Preventions Diabetes is the main cause. -consult a doctor for health care Avoiding major accidents Discover or diagnose the disease before it is too late

Comfort in the Classroom According to A. Bennett Wilson in his book, Limb Prosthetics, " It is preferable for the child amputee to attend a regular school, rather than one for the handicapped." Even though children poke fun at people who are different, it is good for both the amputee and the other children because the amputee will not be sheltered from the world and the others will learn to accept the amputee.

Accommodations : Upper Extremity Amputations (finger, hand, or arm): Keyboard/data entry— One-handed keyboards, typing tutorials for one-hand or missing digits, speech recognition software, large-key keyboards, foot mouse, touch pads, trackballs, and head pointing systems Writing— Grip aids-writing cuffs, action arm orthotic devices, recoding devices for note taking, note-takers, and clipboards Lifting items— Portable material lift equipment, tailgate lifts, hoists and lift-tables Carrying items— Lightweight carts, shoulder bags, and powered carts or scooters with carrying baskets
