Prosthetic Limb

An artificial limb replacing an amputated body part, increasingly integrating robotics for powered actuation. Myoelectric prosthetics control finger and wrist motions via EMG signals from residual limb muscles. Researchers are developing tactile prosthetics that provide sensory feedback to the wearer's nervous system, restoring both motor and sensory function.
