Abstract:

The field of prosthetics technology has advanced significantly since its inception. Initially, prosthetics was simply intended to be aesthetically pleasing and functional. A period when prosthetics may fully replace a human limb's functioning is becoming possible thanks to advancements in the material sciences, engineering, and medicine. This review article explores more into the current strategies for implementation of prosthetics and the ways that have been developed to make life easier and comfortable for the amputee.


Keywords: Prosthetics, Amputee
