Adaptations for a person with Limb Loss- For a person with an above elbow amputation,
might need a prosthetic to write, if that the arm is there dominant hand. The prosthetic that would
adapt well to this activity would be the lateral grip or the precision grip (Porter 2015). If the
amputation has just occurred, the facilitator should be checking the site, to make sure that
nothing is bothering the participant. Some people with limb loss, might have an impaired sense
of self (Porter 2015). With that being said another modification could be to limit the group size,
so that the participants are more comfortable with sharing. This is an activity were they are
poking light fun at the things about themselves. A large group might make them self-conscious
and not want to participate in the activity.
