A system for engaging a target with a prosthetic device, the system comprising the prosthetic device, wherein the prosthetic device comprises: a first paddle having a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first paddle end, and a second paddle end, wherein the first paddle end and the second paddle end lie on opposite ends of the first paddle; a second paddle having a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a third paddle end, and a fourth paddle end, wherein the third paddle end and the fourth paddle end lie on opposite ends of the second paddle; a third paddle having a third inner surface, a third outer surface, a fifth paddle end, and a sixth paddle end, wherein the fifth paddle end and the sixth paddle end lie on opposite ends of the second paddle; an adapter; a first paddle connector that couples the first paddle end to the adapter; a second paddle connector that couples the third paddle end to the adapter; a third paddle connector that couples the fifth paddle end to the adapter; wherein the first, second, and third paddles have a length that is oriented along a length of the target; and wherein the first, second, and third paddles, along their entire length, have a narrower width than a width of the target, characterized in that the system further comprises an external tool having first, second, and third compression bars, wherein the first, second, and third outer surfaces removably couple with the first, second, and third compression bars, respectively whereby upon adjustment of the prosthetic device with the external tool the first, second, and third paddles compress a first, second, and third target area, respectively, along the length of the target so as to capture lost motion between the target and the prosthetic device. a first paddle having a first inner surface, a first outer surface, a first paddle end, and a second paddle end, wherein the first paddle end and the second paddle end lie on opposite ends of the first paddle; a second paddle having a second inner surface, a second outer surface, a third paddle end, and a fourth paddle end, wherein the third paddle end and the fourth paddle end lie on opposite ends of the second paddle; a third paddle having a third inner surface, a third outer surface, a fifth paddle end, and a sixth paddle end, wherein the fifth paddle end and the sixth paddle end lie on opposite ends of the second paddle; an adapter; a first paddle connector that couples the first paddle end to the adapter; a second paddle connector that couples the third paddle end to the adapter; a third paddle connector that couples the fifth paddle end to the adapter; wherein the first, second, and third paddles have a length that is oriented along a length of the target; and wherein the first, second, and third paddles, along their entire length, have a narrower width than a width of the target, characterized in that the system further comprises an external tool having first, second, and third compression bars, wherein the first, second, and third outer surfaces removably couple with the first, second, and third compression bars, respectively whereby upon adjustment of the prosthetic device with the external tool the first, second, and third paddles compress a first, second, and third target area, respectively, along the length of the target so as to capture lost motion between the target and the prosthetic device.
