abstract: This communication will provide an outline of the variety of prosthetics available to suit the functional (and cosmetic) needs of patients with upper and lower extremity amputations. It will also demonstrate that the prosthetist constitutes a vital role in the rehabilitation of the patient and will respond to his different needs as his requirements for external prosthetic devices change with age and circumstances.
