    GlossaryBody-Powered Prosthesis (BPE)

    prosthetic limb controlled by user's own body movements

    A Body-Powered Prosthesis is a type of artificial limb that is operated using the user's own body movements. Typically, it involves a harness and cable system that translates shoulder or chest movements into mechanical actions, allowing the user to control the prosthetic limb. This type of prosthesis is often favored for its durability and the tactile feedback it provides to the user.
