Prosthetics Combine New Technology For Better Function

The use of artificial body parts or prostheses is as old as mankind. Some of the earliest examples of such devices have been found in ancient Egypt and Greece. So the problem of what to do about lack of body parts has existed for thousands of years, literally. It was not until modern times that the manufacture and application of smart devices have become commonplace. Of course, one of the first things people think of when the subject is brought is the artificial teeth. This was, of course, one of the key areas in the development of prosthetics. One of the things that everyone remembers America is our first president and founder, George Washington and his famous wooden teeth. As with all of these devices have evolved dentures to the strong technology now are not only common but almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The artificial teeth are now in a variety of styles and options of the device. The most popular are the place full ceramic prostheses, followed by dental implants. Dental implants today is very popular because implants offer complete functions like natural teeth option. The difference, of course, is the price between the two. The implants are usually much more expensive and out of the price range of all but the most well-heeled.
Another innovation of the technology was the invention of intelligent implant. These devices range from hearing implants even intelligent members. Chip implants are microprocessor-controlled and designed to mimic the function of the organ or the missing limb. Some of the technology has not yet progressed to the point of taking control of the patient's brain. The function of these devices is truly remarkable with the ability to open, close and even grasp objects just by thinking about it. This new feature has opened a new technology for quadriplegics and other people with severe disabilities to help restore normalcy in their lives. He even opened a new treatment protocol for membership revert to those suffering from diseases such as multiple sclerosis and severe nerve damage back injuries or spine.
In this era of medicine uses the new era of the prosthesis is to restore the loss of limbs for war victims. One of the most common injuries that occur in war-torn countries, not only civil but also military personnel, is the complete loss of a limb or limbs. With the development of new materials to build prostheses has been a blessing for the types of equipment available for spare use. Besides replacement options standard members new artificial limbs have been designed specifically to help a patient to get more and participate in sports and recreational activities. There was even an artificial leg specially developed to enable a competitive runner to continue to operate not only in private but also competitive. The most famous example of this is Oscar Pistorius, nicknamed "Blade Runner". The nickname was given because of the shape and appearance of his artificial leg. In fact, his new leg was so controversial at the time that the Olympic Committee initially banned from competition. The ban, however, was finally lifted....
