Peg Leg

A simple prosthesis.

Mourad stood up. A sharp pain caused him to stumble but Sanae caught him and helped him up. He took a step. It hurt. He took another. It hurt too. Eventually he made it all the way to the other side of the room. Freedom from crutches at last.

Cultural Significance

These are common in areas of conflict. The views of the item vary from region to region. Some see people who wear these as lesser while others see them as the brave people who fought. The peg leg has been popularized in recent works about pirates.

Manufacturing process

The leg must be created for the person it is intended for. The required height measured then the wooden part constructed. A soft animal skin is often put in the cup to make it more comfortable.
