Wikipedia

  1. prosthetic

    In medicine, a prosthesis (plural: prostheses; from Ancient Greek: πρόσθεσις, romanized: prósthesis, lit. 'addition, application, attachment'), or a prosthetic implant, is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or a condition present at birth (congenital disorder). Prostheses are intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part. Amputee rehabilitation is primarily coordinated by a physiatrist as part of an inter-disciplinary team consisting of physiatrists, prosthetists, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Prostheses can be created by hand or with computer-aided design (CAD), a software interface that helps creators design and analyze the creation with computer-generated 2-D and 3-D graphics as well as analysis and optimization tools.

    A prosthetic is an artificial device that replaces a missing part of the body, often designed to enhance a person's mobility and functionality. This could include a variety of body parts such as a limb, tooth, eye, or even a heart valve. The device can be purely cosmetic, designed to look like the missing body part, or it can also be functional, allowing the user to perform activities they may not otherwise be able to do. Prosthetics are often customized to fit an individual's specific needs and body measurements.
