Introduction of the term prosthetic limb

Question

Give a brief introduction of the term prosthetic limb? And also write down its demerits?

Answer 1

It is an artificial device that can be employed to replace a missing body part. It is depended on the principle of bio-mechatronics. It can be employed to replace body part missing from birth, because of injury or because of defect. The major demerit of prosthetic limb is its cost. Furthermore, prosthetic limbs have to be replaced every 3-4 year because of the wear and tear. If the limb has fit tissues then the sockets in the limb have to be replaced all month.
