Prosthesis
In medicine, a prosthesis (plural: prostheses; from Ancient Greek prósthesis, ""addition, application, attachment"") is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. Prosthetic amputee rehabilitation is primarily coordinated by a prosthetist and an inter-disciplinary team of health care professionals including psychiatrists, surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists.
