What Are Arm/Hand Prosthetics?
Arm and hand prosthetics are artificial limbs designed to replace a portion or the entirety of an arm or hand lost due to injury, illness, or congenital conditions. These prosthetics are meticulously crafted to replicate the natural function of the hand and arm, enabling users to perform a wide range of tasks such as gripping, lifting, typing, and performing everyday activities. Modern arm and hand prosthetics integrate advanced technologies and offer a variety of cosmetic options to ensure both functionality and a natural appearance.
