Abstract in brief

A 9-year-old child with a congenital hand deficiency was unable to perform horizontal bar skills in gymnastics, prompting the use of a custom 3D-printed prosthetic hand.
Repeated modifications and integration of the prosthetic into the child's training led to improved participation, confidence, and satisfaction in gymnastics.
While the prosthetic helped the child perform better, additional safety testing and measures are necessary before progressing to more advanced activities.
