Artificial limbs are prosthetics that act as replacements for missing body extremities, mainly the arms and legs. The type of artificial limb depends on the severity of the amputation. People may need artificial limbs due to a birth defect, accident or disease. You can learn more on the Internet or at our local library about the latest medical technology for artificial limbs, the latest lifelike devices and appliances, advances in orthopedics, trends in pharmaceutical and biotech such as drugs, genetics, medicine, and diet. You can join support groups online, view photos of others with artificial limbs, and search rehabilitation centers in your area.
