Myoelectric Prosthetics; Introduction to Upper Limb Prosthetics

Compiled by: Ekundayo Toheeb Dayo

The article is a 4 minute-read.

While a single prosthetic that achieves both a natural appearance and extreme functionality would be ideal, most artificial limbs that exist today sacrifice some degree of one for the other. As such, there is a wide spectrum of specialized prosthetics that range from the purely cosmetic (which are inert) to the primarily functional (whose appearance is obviously mechanical).
