From what to ask at your first fitting to how to read a manufacturer's specification honestly — insights from wearers and industry experts.

This is what flying with a prosthetic device actually feels like, from the security queue to the socket slip at 35,000 feet. Your rights at the scanner, what to pack, why your travel insurance probably doesn't cover what you think it does, and what to do if your device breaks on the other side of the world.

If you’re exploring upper limb prosthetics, this comparison tends to come up quickly - myoelectric vs body-powered arms. On the surface, it’s often framed as a technology question. In reality, it’s a life question.

Funding, access, timelines, expectations, personal circumstances, and long-term support all play a role and a lot of the nuance gets lost in oversimplified advice.
