Accidents and misfortunes often results in an inability in the body. this may prevent you from doing certain activities and living the life in a normal manner. A prosthesis in such a situation comes as a boon for the unfortunate.
- Prosthetic body parts help individuals to resume their normal lives and for them who are born with a certain disability to enjoy as much as possible. Therefore there is a need that scientific innovators work towards making improvements in the prosthetic body parts.
- One such improvement that has been achieved. Now the prosthetic hand that you might be using will tell what it is touching. As a normal human being we indulge in many activities that require us to touch the things so as to know exactly what are they.
For example, a the difference between the paper and a piece of cloth is not much. We touch to determine that the difference between the two.
- The prosthetic arm is developed by the researchers of the U.S. military research arm. That is the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, who implanted small electrodes to the brain of a paralyzed human being. The electrodes were implanted in the region of the brain that controls the movement. With the help of the wires and brain’s motor cortex the subject, or the human being was able to move the prosthetic arm through a range of motions.
These innovative steps in the field of the prosthesis have been the steps that can be taken to make the lives of amputated people better. Prosthetic hands have the following benefits for the amputated.:
1. It helps them in their movement
Prosthetic hand help the body to gain its natural movement. When the body loses a body part, it begins to make an alteration in the movement in order to fit the new design. This is due to the reason that the body has to maintain so that we do not fall.
