Body-powered prosthesis

A body-powered prosthesis is a type of artificial limb controlled through the user's own body movements. It typically uses a harness and cable system connected to the remaining limb or shoulder. When the user moves, such as pulling a cable with their shoulder or arm, it activates the prosthesis to open, close, or perform other functions. This design relies on harnesses and mechanical linkages, making it durable and cost-effective. Body-powered prostheses are often used for their reliability and simplicity, allowing users to perform daily tasks with a controlled and intuitive movement system.
