Upper extremity prostheses include arms, hands, and fingers, while lower extremity prostheses include legs and feet. Each type of prosthesis designed to restore function to a specific part of the body.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Types_of_prosthesis\"><\/span>2 Types of prosthesis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Upper extremity prostheses typically made of metal and plastic, and fitted with a variety of attachments that allow the user to perform tasks such as gripping, cutting, and gripping.<\/li>\n<li>Lower extremity prostheses typically made of plastic and rubber, and fitted with a variety of attachments that allow the user to walk, run, and climb stairs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limb_Prostheses\"><\/span>Limb Prostheses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, such as a leg or arm.

These systems can used to control a wide range of devices, including prosthetic arms and legs, as well as wheelchairs, computers, and other devices. Myoelectrical control systems often used by people with amputations, as they can provide more natural and intuitive control of prosthetic devices than traditional prosthetic controls.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current_Technology\"><\/span>Current Technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Current technology has enhanced greatly in recent years and has played a major role in improving the way we live. Aside from the obvious things like faster internet, more reliable cell phone coverage, and GPS systems, there are a lot of other ways that current technology has made our lives better. One way is that we can now shop online for just about anything we need and have it delivered right to our doorsteps.<\/p>\n<p>This is especially convenient for busy people who don\u2019t have time to go to the store. Another way current technology has made our lives better is that we can now stay connected with our friends who live far away. This is a great way to stay connected with loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Prosthesis?
