Here you will find a selection of nonfiction titles that are guides for people that use prosthetic arms or legs after limb loss or because of a congenital condition.

Here we also have biographies and memoirs from authors who use prosthetic limbs. Note that we can include athletes with prosthetics, but this list also features people that work in other professional fields as well.

You can also include history books that cover the use and invention of prosthetic limbs in medicine.

I am not a medical expert, I trust the readers to consult their doctors and chose the books they need to address their personal situations.

Georgina Warren There are other cases of people with congenital limb differences or limb loss, but they chose not to wear prosthetics. Those stories belong on a different list.

Georgina Warren Please remove this book on the list, it is not about a person using prosthetic limbs.
