Prosthetic Limbs Advantages

One of the most important things with prosthetic limbs is they have so many advantages to them that researchers are finding many ways to improving them to make them seem as if they are not even there. A study showed that the use of energy is lower when walking with a prosthetic limb, rather than walking without a prosthetic limb and using crutches (Hewitt). People who get the chance of using a prosthetic feel better about themselves and feel as if they blend in better, as if the people who do not have the chance to use a prosthetic may get frustrated and feel uncomfortable around others (Hewitt).
