.If you are missing an arm or leg, an artificial limb can sometimes replace it. The device, which is called a prosthesis, can help you to perform daily activities such as walking, eating, or dressing. Some artificial limbs let you function nearly as well as before .
This prosthetic arm was made in 1904 for a professional pianist – a woman called Elizabeth Burton. The prosthetic arm had padded fingers and a wide span, features that enabled her to keep playing the piano, so that she could still make a living for her family.
