What is the point of your questions? Your questions are all over the place. Most of us are leg amputees so tying shoes is not an issue.

Probably this was someone doing a survey of arm amputees & they just forgot to mention so?
As for me, getting laid is no prob. But I do run out of popscicle sticks and electrical tape a lot.

I am an orthotist who sometimes works with amputees but most often with people who have had strokes and are limited to the use of one hand. some have learned a one hand tie method(most occupational therapists can teach it). I know there are shoe modifications (using ortho laces) which ccan reduce your shoe tie problems.
Buying Velcro shoes is far too obvious. there are shoes which appear to be lace up shoes but are not. A good prosthetist or for sure an orthotist should be able to help with your shos issues.
