Start with a focused question
DULPA performs best when your question includes the prosthetic level, device category, clinical concept, population, or comparison you want to explore.
DULPA tip guide
How to get better answers from DULPA.
DULPA works best when questions are focused, professional, and specific. Use this guide to write better prompts, protect privacy, and understand the role of DULPA during beta testing.
Use follow-up questions
If the first answer is too brief, ask DULPA to expand, clarify terminology, compare options, or continue a specific line of reasoning.
Avoid patient-identifiable information
Do not enter patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, addresses, photographs, or other patient-identifiable information.
Treat responses as support
DULPA supports research, education, and professional reasoning. It should not be used as the sole basis for clinical decisions.
Better prompting
Specific questions usually produce better responses.
Less useful
Tell me about prosthetic hands.

What are key considerations when comparing passive, body-powered, and externally powered terminal devices for unilateral transradial users?
Suggested prompts
Examples you can try during beta testing.
These examples are intentionally broad enough for learning while still giving DULPA a clear direction.
- Summarize key considerations for upper-limb prosthetic socket design.
- Compare body-powered and myoelectric control from a clinical decision-making perspective.
- Explain common reasons for upper-limb prosthesis rejection or abandonment.
- What should a resident understand about terminal device selection?
- List factors that may influence training needs for a new upper-limb prosthesis user.
Responsible use
Do not enter private patient information.
DULPA is intended for professional learning, source-supported exploration, and beta feedback. Keep questions de-identified and general. For patient-specific decisions, rely on qualified clinical evaluation, professional judgment, applicable standards, and your organization’s policies.
