Kudos to you, Jim, for continuing to be active despite your difficulties! And what a wonderfully useful design on that prosthesis.

Indeed : body powered hooks are, by far, the most efficient and the comfortable prostheses for the hand / forearm amputees. And above all, they the most reliable ones !
