"Prosthetic Limbs and the Risk of Atrophy: The Dark Side of Assistive Technology. Advances in prosthetic limbs and other assistive technologies have revolutionized the lives of millions of people with disabilities. However, a growing concern is emerging about the unintended consequences of relying on these devices. Researchers are warning that the very technology designed to help people regain mobility and independence could actually lead to muscle atrophy and decreased physical function in the long run. As the line between ability and disability continues to blur, experts are grappling with the complex implications of assistive technology on the human body."
