A prosthetist is a healthcare professional who specializes in designing, fitting, and maintaining artificial limbs, known as prostheses. They work closely with patients who have lost limbs due to injury, illness, or congenital conditions. The goal of a prosthetist is to help individuals regain mobility and improve their quality of life through customized prosthetic solutions. Prosthetists often collaborate with other healthcare providers, such as orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists, to ensure comprehensive care for their patients. They use advanced materials and technology to create prostheses that are comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing, allowing users to engage in daily activities and sports.
