"Man Hands"

"When a woman puts on a foot or a knee or an arm, she often finds that it’s not quite right. Knees are too tall and too stiff, feet don’t fit into shoes, hands are big, ankles don’t bend to accommodate heels. Every step a female amputee takes puts them face to face with the fact that prosthetics is still a male dominated industry.

It starts at the beginning. Before they even get a device, amputees have to find a prosthetist, a person who they will work with for likely hundreds of hours over their lifetime to find, fit and adjust their device. And that prosthetist not only has to really understand what the patient wants, communicate well, and create and shape devices for the amputee, they also often have to work in private areas...
“You used to have to weigh close to 130 pounds to wear a microprocessor knee. I could never get a microprocessor knee to even flex," she said. "The everyday walking foot used to start at a [size] 6.”
Bassett, an above-the-knee amputee and triathlete, found that at her height she couldn’t find a prosthetic knee system that really worked for her. So she runs without one—on a straight leg without a knee joint at all. It took her a while to get used to, but it works for her now. She's a four-time medalist at the ITU Paratriathlon World Championships...
And, just like the big feet Lacey and other had to deal with, the hands that companies make are often sized for men. The first set of microprocessor hands—devices in which the speed and motion of the hand is controlled by a computer chip, rather than physically—were too big for most women. “A female couldn’t wear it, unless they wanted a giant hand on there,” said Havlik. Even now, companies unveil their large, male hand first. The female hand is always the second priority, and often doesn’t get made."

This set of issues is really interesting and challenging.
Ladies exist too.
