ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic adapter has been devised which is conformable for use by amputees in various activities without necessity of modifying the prosthesis or artificial limb itself. This is achieved by utilization of diametrically opposed connectors on a grip or handle portion of the article to be manipulated, the fasteners preferably being offset one from another for a distance corresponding to the offset relation of the hook portions on the artificial hand. In those applications where the article is to be freely suspended, such as, a ski pole, a resilient connector is employed in combination with the diametrically opposed connectors for releasable attachment of another hook so that the vertical attitude or disposition of the pole can be regulated.
