Classification of prosthetic limbs

Prosthesis is a specially designed and assembled artificial prosthesis to make up for the amputee or incomplete limbs, or also known as the "prosthetic limb". Its main role is to replace the partial loss of the limb, restoring the amputee to a certain ability to take care of themselves and work. Its applicable object is the amputees due to diseases, traffic accidents, industrial injury accidents, sports trauma and other reasons

Prosthetics can be classified by structure, function, assembly time, amputation site, power source, and selected materials. But the most commonly used classification method is to divide the upper limb prosthesis and the lower limb prosthesis according to the amputation site.

The materials for making prosthetic limbs are mainly aluminum plates, wood, leather, plastic and metal mechanical parts. A good prosthetic limb must have good function, comfortable and convenient to wear, light and durable, and similar appearance of healthy limb
