Prostheses are artificial devices used to replace a lost limb or tissue. Prosthetic applications aim to improve the quality of life for individuals who have lost a limb or have congenital limb loss, and to enable them to continue their daily activities.

Prosthetic applications can be performed on different limbs and for different needs. For example, prosthetic arms or legs are designed to replace the functions of the lost limb. These prostheses help the person perform daily activities such as moving, walking, or holding objects.

Prostheses are being further improved today thanks to advancing technology. Robotic prostheses, in particular, have the ability to more naturally mimic the movements of the lost limb. This allows individuals using prostheses to move more comfortably and naturally.

Prosthetic applications not only improve the quality of life but also have positive psychological effects. Replacing a lost limb builds self-confidence and supports participation in social life.

Prosthetic applications should be performed by a specialized healthcare team and customized to the individual’s needs. Since each individual’s prosthetic needs may differ, a personalized approach should be adopted.

Prosthetic applications will continue to improve with advancements in technology, offering more opportunities to individuals who wish to replace a lost limb.
