Wouldn't they most likely need special pointed prosthetic\pen holder as well to deal with resistive screens?
I don't know how advanced synthetic materials used on the prosthetics nowadays, but I bet it wouldn't be too hard to ask for the proper material to be used on the finger tips\chosen area.

Now, multi touch gestures, that'd be harder.
