If you are living with an upper limb loss, there are a variety of aids that can make many daily tasks easier. The War Amps has compiled a comprehensive resource of aids that will be able to assist you in your day-to-day living.

You will find examples of aids for use in the kitchen, in the bathroom, to help with dressing, household aids, recreation aids, mobility aids and aids to use when you are in your wheelchair. Many of these devices can be found online. If you have any questions, talk with your Prosthetist here at WinPO who may be able to help direct you to local stores and options to try.
