artificial arm
Mechanical upper extremity
An artificial arm is a prosthetic device that replaces a missing arm or portion of one, whether lost to injury, disease, or absent from birth.
Modern artificial arms range from purely cosmetic to highly functional, with advanced versions using sensors to detect muscle signals and translate them into movement: Her artificial arm lets her grip objects with surprising precision.
