Made for a 4 year old boy with congenital absence of both upper limbs (amelia) and very short lower limbs. Made by Hanger in 1962. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | prosthetic leg | Temporal: | 1962 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Hanger | Identifier: | 1999-506 | Go to resource |
