Abstract:

The article presents information about testing and criteria of prosthetics in general, and the main aspects of interaction between organic tissues and sensors in artificial limbs. The main purpose of the article is to describe the current state of affairs in the field of limb prosthetics, their types, criteria, methods of testing and to consider the problems arising from human limb prosthetics.
