Modern prosthetics are sophisticated wearable tech, but artificial limbs date all the way back to ancient Egypt! From the Greville Chester toe to modern-day running blades, prosthetics help people all over the world enhance their quality of life. In this graphic history, learn about the earliest prosthetics, their increased importance after the World Wars, the Paralympics, and how technology could change prosthetics in the future.
