Fig. 2. The below-elbow figure-eight harness. A simple webbing loop passes around the sound shoulder, the front portion being used for suspension, the back for attachment of the control cable. The inverted Y-suspensor. triceps pad, and flexible elbow hinges are constructed of 4 to 6-oz. strap leather and lined with 4-oz. pearl horse-hide or equivalent. The proximal retainer on the triceps pad is of the flexible leather type to improve cable life. The three circled inserts show possible variations in individual cases. Circle A illustrates the leather half-cuff as used in combination with rigid elbow hinges and a single billet. Circle B shows a hall-cuff with two billets, again in combination with rigid elbow hinges. Circle C shows the inverted Y-strap as made from fabric instead of leather. Any of the combinations shown may be used as required to furnish the necessary stability depending upon occupational needs, level of amputation, and other factors.
