Prosthesis
In medicine , a prosthesis (plural: prostheses; from Ancient Greek prosthesis , "addition, application, attachment" [1] ) is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. Prosthetics are intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part. [2] Prosthetic amputee rehabilitation is primarily coordinated by a prosthetist and an inter-disciplinary team of health care professionals including psychiatrists, surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Prosthetics are commonly created with CAD (Computer-Aided Design), a software interface that helps creators visualize the creation in a 3D form. [3] But they can also be designed by hand.

In medicine , a prosthesis , prosthetic , or prosthetic limb (from Ancient Greek prósthesis , "addition, application, attachment") [1] is an artificial device extension that replaces a missing body part. It is part of the field of biomechatronics , the science of using mechanical devices with human muscle , skeleton , and nervous systems to assist or enhance motor control lost by trauma , disease , or defect . Prostheses are generally used to replace parts lost by injury (traumatic) or missing from birth ( congenital ) or to supplement defective body parts. Inside the body, artificial heart valves are in common use with artificial hearts and lungs seeing less common use but under active technology development. Other medical devices and aids that can be considered prosthetics include hearing aids , artificial eyes , palatal obturator , gastric bands , and dentures . |

In medicine , a prosthesis is an artificial extension that replaces a missing body part . It is part of the field of biomechatronics , the science of fusing mechanical devices with human muscle, skeleton, and nervous systems to assist or enhance motor control lost by trauma, disease, or defect. Prostheses are typically used to replace parts lost by injury ( traumatic ) or missing from birth ( congenital ) or to supplement defective body parts. In addition to the standard artificial limb for every-day use, many amputees have special limbs and devices to aid in the participation of sports and recreational activities. |

In medicine , a prosthesis is an artificial extension that replaces a missing part of the body. Contrast with orthosis that supplements the body. Prostheses are typically used to replace parts lost by injury (traumatic) or missing from birth (congenital) or to supplement defective body parts. Prosthetic is the adjective form of the word while prosthesis is the singular noun and prostheses the plural noun. The same can be said for orthotic, orthosis and orthoses. An unusual example is specialized prostheses that can allow transsexual men to change their outward physical sex or achieve secondary sex characteristics for transsexual women . |
