Although children with congenital upper limb deficiencies have individual weaknesses in their motor skill behavior, it was shown that these weaknesses can be improved through rehabilitation approaches, including occupational and prosthetic therapies. Issuing the appropriate prostheses and implementing the appropriate training to use the prostheses for congenital upper limb deficiencies are reasonable and meaningful interventions to improve quality of life.
