The primary purpose of an arm prosthetic is to mimic the appearance and
replace the function of a missing limb. 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).
