Artificial limbs are a type of prosthesis and are classified by the type of amputation they would replace, for example * Transtibial: Below the knee * Transfemoral: Above the knee * Transradial: The upper arm

The term "disability", as it is applied to humans, refers to any condition that impedes the completion of daily tasks using traditional methods. National governments and global humanitarian agencies have narrowed this definition for their own purposes, only pledging aid to those with specific disabilities of a certain severity.
