Prosthetics refers to the design, creation, and use of artificial devices known as prostheses, which are used to replace missing body parts or enhance existing ones. These devices can be functional, such as prosthetic limbs (arms, legs) that help individuals regain mobility and independence after amputation or injury, or cosmetic, designed to resemble natural body parts for aesthetic purposes. Prosthetics can also include dental implants, ocular prosthetics, and other body part replacements. The field encompasses various disciplines, including medicine, engineering, and rehabilitation, and involves the customization of devices to meet the specific needs and anatomy of the user. Advances in technology have led to the development of more sophisticated prosthetic devices, often incorporating materials such as carbon fiber, electronics, and robotics to improve usability and functionality.
