Upper limb body powered prosthesis consisting of a hand and an arm that has two sections joined by a mechanical elbow. The arm section is made of a dark brow plastic material while the hand is covered by a sleeve that has a much lighter color, this contrast of colors is one of the reasons prosthetics users reject their prostheses.
