Abstract

Electronic prostheses are devices designed to replace or improve the functions of a limb or part of the human body. They use electronic and sensory technology to replicate the movement and functionality of natural limbs. These prosthetics include components such as sensors, actuators, brain-computer interfaces, and control systems that allow users to perform a variety of movements and tasks. Electronic prosthetics can have a significant impact on the lives of people with disabilities, restoring mobility, autonomy, and quality of life. They come in different types, including upper and lower limb prostheses, as well as internal organ prostheses. However, electronic prosthetics also raise ethical and social considerations, such as equal access, data privacy, self-image, and bodily integrity. Research and development continue to advance in areas such as brain-computer interfaces, realistic tactile sensation, and design customization to address these concerns and further improve the functionality and acceptance of these prosthetics. Ultimately, electronic prosthetics have the potential to transform the lives of people with disabilities, providing them with new opportunities to participate in society, improve their self-esteem, and achieve greater independence in their daily lives.
