PROSTHESIS
|
| Prosthetic devices enable the millions of people who are hindered by the loss of a limb to overcome the devastation. Either for functional or aesthetic purposes, prosthetics help amputees live life the way they did before the loss or it gives people with birth defects new hope.

History - The history of prosthetics as far back as humanity does because ancient humans had to deal with accidents and birth defects just like we do now.
|
|
Care - Care for the stump after the amputation is critical for maximum healing and minimum pain. The prosthesis must also be cared for in order to have maximum efficiency.
|
|
Limitations - Currently, and probably in the future, prosthetic devices are not the same as the real part both in function and appearance. However, certain prosthetics bring certain limitations.
