Prosthetic arms are designed to mimic the movement and function of a real arm. They work in different ways depending on the type. Some are body-powered, using a system of cables and straps connected to the opposite shoulder. When you move your shoulder, the prosthetic hand or elbow moves too. Others are myoelectric, which means they have sensors that pick up signals from the muscles in your remaining limb. These signals control the movements of the artificial arm, like opening and closing the hand or bending the elbow. More advanced prosthetics may even offer a basic sense of touch through feedback systems. Every prosthetic is custom-fitted to the person for comfort, control, and better function in daily life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
