(continued from outside) There are several different ways that a prosthesis can make your life easier. Perhaps the first and foremost benefit is decreased physical stress on your body. A prosthesis will work to improve your balance and body symmetry, so it is easier for you to stand on two feet without feeling uneasy. As a result of your improved balance and body symmetry, there will also be decreased stress put on your sound leg, leading to less wear and tear on that extremity. A prosthesis will allow weight to evenly distribute throughout your body, so there will be less impact on your hip, ankle, and knee joints. Additionally, a prosthetic device can also lead to increased physical activity! With evenly distributed body weight, your prosthesis can actually help keep your heart pumping naturally during exercise. Therefore, by staying in motion without feeling unsteady or easily fatigued, you will be able to maintain a healthy heart! Most importantly, a prosthetic device can help you reclaim your life. With the many benefits that your new prosthetic device will bring you, perhaps the most important is giving you your life back. With
