An OT practitioner is doing functional unilateral myoelectric prosthetic training with a client who wants to be able to cut vegetables for meal preparation. What should the therapist teach the cli-ent?
A. To use packaged precut vegetables so that cutting is not necessary
B. To use a cutting board and a one-handed rocker knife
C. To use the terminal device to hold the knife and the sound hand to hold the veg-etable
D. To use the sound hand to hold the knife and the terminal device to hold the veg-etable
ANS: D
Functional training involves the client learning to use the prosthesis as a functional assist for meaningful activities. If adapted or modified unilateral tasks are presented to the client, the need to operate the prosthesis will be minimized. For this activity, having the client hold the knife in the sound hand is preferable because the sound hand will have improved sensation and dexterity, allowing the client to maintain a grip on the knife more effectively.
