................................. ..... The prosthesis has evolved from several whirlwind phases from time to time to the most advanced, mature and sophisticated one. After a long chain of memorable events, the modern, developed prosthesis is very different from the archaic prosthesis. He modeled himself with the running wheel of time. In the primitive beginning of prosthesis there were no innovative ideas, but this has become a natural and essential need of people who lack body organs. The first leg was made in 1500 BC and has been going through evolutionary stages since then. Many improvements were made to early hooks and wooden legs, which led to highly customized adaptations and molds of modern era devices. Egyptian role: To take into account how much prosthetics have developed, the role of the ancient Egyptians cannot be ruled out. They hold the position of pioneers in the field of prosthetics. Basic prosthetic limbs were made of fibers worn for the purpose of health rather than function. What is said to be the world's first prosthetic finger from an Egyptian mummy was recently discovered, and it appears to be functional. An artificial leg was discovered in Capua, Italy in 1858 and is believed to have been made in 300 BC. It was made of bronze and iron, the core was made of wood, and it looked like a below-the-knee amputee. Herodotus wrote of a Persian seer who was perfumed to death but escaped by cutting off his foot and made a wooden filler to walk about 30 miles. Similarly, a Roman general had his right arm amputated during the Punic War. He had an iron prosthetic hand designed to hold his shield and returned to battle with it. The Dark Ages: A little adva...... middle of paper...... Benjamin Palmer improved Selpho's leg by adding an internal spring and removing gaps between various components that were unpleasant to look at . It added the smooth look and hidden tendons to perform the natural looking movement. Gustav Hermann suggested in 1868 the use of aluminum instead of steel to make artificial limbs lighter and more functional. However he suggested that the lightweight aluminum model was implemented in 1912 when a famous English aviator Marcel Desoutter lost his leg in a plane crash and made the first aluminum prosthetic leg with the help of his brother Charles who was an engineer.
