Leg Prosthesis

A prosthetic leg is an artificial limb system used to replace a limb lost below or above the knee due to illness, accident, diabetes, tumors, or trauma. It is custom-made by expert prosthetic technicians using carbon, titanium, aluminum, silicon, and advanced electronic components. The goal is to enable the individual to regain their ability to walk and comfortably perform daily life activities. Leg prostheses are divided into two categories according to the level of amputation: Below-knee prosthetic leg: The individual uses their own knee joint; there is no additional mechanism. Above-knee prosthetic leg: Includes a mechanically or microprocessor-controlled knee joint that supports walking. Depending on the materials and technology used, prosthetic legs offer different levels of comfort, durability, and mobility.
