假肢在历史上一直被用于替代损失，因此，通常在设计上是功能性的或自然的。基本或“功能性”假肢满足使用者的基本手术需要。一个自然主义的假肢，或美化，是集中在自由裁量权，从而掩盖肢体损失。然而，一种新型的假肢正在市场上出现。这些假肢与传统设计不同，因为它们引起注意，并表达了肢体缺失或缺失者的个人风格和自我概念。基于Lamb和Kallal（1992）FEA消费者需求模型，这些假肢满足了假肢使用者的表达需求，这在历史上一直被忽视。本文探讨了目前的文献，以建立一个上下文，什么将被指定为表达假体。分析将开始回顾最近的奖学金假肢。由于有关假肢设计和外观的相关研究有限，因此将整合残疾研究和时尚研究的相关文献。这一扩展的文献分析将提供一个更大的框架，在现有的知识体系中，表达假体。注意力将集中在与社会心理学相关的奖学金，包括残疾和外观管理的模型。此外，作者将举一反三，并提出解释这些假肢的含义和意义。
Prosthetic limbs have historically been intended for replacing loss, and as a result, are usually functional or naturalistic in design. The basic, or "functional," prosthesis meets the rudimentary operational needs of the user. A naturalistic prosthetic limb, or cosmesis, is focused on discretion, thereby disguising limb loss. However, a new type of artificial limb is appearing in the marketplace. These prostheses differ from the traditional designs, in that they solicit attention and express the personal style and self-concept of the individual with limb loss or absence. Based on the Lamb and Kallal (1992) FEA Consumer Needs Model, these prostheses fulfill the expressive needs of prosthetic limb users, which have historically been overlooked. This article explores the current literature in order to establish a context for what will be designated expressive prostheses. The analysis will begin by reviewing recent scholarship on prosthetic limbs. Since there is limited relevant research on prosthesis design and appearance, related literature from disability studies and fashion studies will be integrated. This expanded literature analysis will provide a larger framework with which to situate expressive prostheses within the existing body of knowledge. Attention will be focused on scholarship related to social psychology, including models of disability and appearance management. In addition, the authors will draw inferences and propose interpretations for the meaning and significance of these prostheses.
