Detailed explanation-1: -A prosthesis is a device designed to replace a missing part of the body or to make a part of the body work better. Diseased or missing eyes, arms, hands, legs, or joints are commonly replaced by prosthetic devices.

Detailed explanation-2: -When talking about prosthetics and artificial limbs, it’s important to note the differences between the various types and their specific uses.
