Why do people remove prosthetics when they need them most?

Prosthetic arm technology isn’t just about innovation—it’s about trust. Fergal Mackie explains why many amputees remove prosthetic hand devices due to poor reliability and unpredictable performance.

From advanced robotic arm systems to simpler mechanical arm designs, the real issue lies in trust, control, and consistency—not just robotics engineering. This is a critical lesson in product design and real-world usability.

⚡ If users don’t trust it, they won’t use it.
