prosthetic arms

Prosthetic arms are artificial limbs designed to replace a missing arm, restoring function and appearance. They range from simple body-powered devices controlled by movement at the shoulder or other remaining muscles, to advanced myoelectric models that use electrical signals from muscle contractions to operate motors. Modern prosthetics can include features like multi-grip hands, sensors for dexterity, and lightweight materials for comfort. They are custom-made to fit the individual and can significantly improve independence and quality of life by enabling daily activities and complex tasks. Advances in technology continue to enhance their functionality and realism.
