Prosthetics vs Orthotics

What Is a Prosthetic Device
A prosthetic device replaces a missing body part. This could be a limb, a joint, or even a facial structure. People who have had amputations or were born without a limb often rely on prosthetics to regain function and independence.
Modern prosthetics have come a long way. Today, many are built with lightweight carbon fiber and smart sensors. Some even respond to nerve signals from the brain. The goal is always to restore as much natural movement as possible.
