Medical - Medical: Instruments / For handicapped people
English term or phrase: Motor Leg
When someone as to amputate his/her legs or arms, he/she is expected to have a motor arm/motor leg equipped.

But, I cannot find the proper word in Japanese.

In case of legs, 義足 is a word but 義足 itself does not mean the one mechanical.

Sorry, to clarify, are you looking for the JP term (for either arms/legs) that specifies that the prosthetic device is motorized?

Note to reference poster
Asker: You're right. I am looking for a terminology of arms/legs as prosthetic devices. 動力義肢 has been found for legs. But, for arms, still I cannot. Kindly requested to look at the 2010 Vancouver. Now it is Olympics Games. After that, Paralympics Games will be held.
