Information about prosthetic limb

Prosthetic limbs are advanced artificial devices designed to replace missing limbs, offering functionality and sometimes sensory feedback. They include upper and lower limb prosthetics, with components like sockets, suspension systems, joints, pylons, and terminal devices. Control systems range from body-powered to myoelectric, allowing for intuitive movement. Advances such as bionic limbs, sensory feedback systems, and 3D printing have significantly enhanced their usability and accessibility.
