Summary

This study tests the Point Mini, a mechanical finger prosthetic, in 14 children aged 3-17 with partial hand differences from amputation or birth. Each child uses their current device for one month, then the Point Mini for two months, to compare hand function, ease of use, and how often they wear it. The goal is to see if this new device improves daily activities and quality of life.
