prosthetic devices
Replacement body parts
Prosthetic devices are artificial replacements for missing body parts—limbs, joints, eyes, teeth.
A prosthetic leg allows an amputee to walk; a prosthetic hand restores grip.
The term covers everything from simple wooden legs to sophisticated electronic limbs that respond to nerve signals.
