Prosthetics

Prosthetics are machine parts that replace body parts like hands, feet and legs. They help people who have lost parts of their body to do things like walk, grab and hold things, look down the road when they drive, and many other things. Prosthetics have been around for a long time and have gotten better over time. Now, they can be made to look and function almost like a real body part. They are made out of strong, light materials like plastic and metal, and have special parts inside them that allow them to bend and move just like a real body part would. Some people might need help using a prosthetic at first, but once they get the hang of it, they can do all sorts of things!
