E-EXPLANATION: after each finding, add your explanation of how/whether the finding confirms or contradicts the claim you evaluate in the paragraph.
Repeat steps three and four above several times as you report your five to seven findings: report a finding and immediately explain it; then report the next finding followed by the explanation etc.

The Independent newspaper claims that because prosthetics (or artificial limbs) have become functional and aesthetically pleasing, these new prosthetics are accompanied by a shift from shame to satisfaction, comfort and pride (para. 1-3). This claim seems to be invalid. Currently prosthetics break down or malfunction a lot, are heavy and seem to be not that functional. Consumers have been waiting for awhile for improvements in these areas, but these improvements have not happened (Biddiss, Beaton and Chau, 2007, page 355). In other words, consumers are still waiting for better prosthetics, and one can safely say that these consumers are frustrated or at least dissatisfied. “Ironically” the simple architecture of upper limb prosthetics dating back to 1912 is still used today despite decades of innovation (Antfolk et. al., 2013, page 51). It is ironic because consumers who believe that the prosthetics have become functional do not realize that they are using a very old technology, dating back to 1912. It is also ironic because of the lack of development of the technology while other sectors are thriving and innovating. Prosthetic joint infection is frequent. (Tande and Patel, 2014, page 330). Given that prosthetics frequently give people infections, it disproves the argument of them becoming functional even though they could be seen as aesthetically pleasing. Even though half an argument is made there, it seems that it would be more important for the prosthetic to be functional rather than aesthetically pleasing. In another study that was conducted the patients complained about the prosthetics including “mechanical failure, cable breakage and joint loosing” as well as “stump pain” when they were using prosthetics and “displeasure” while fitting the prosthetic (Bhaskaran and, Bhat andAcharya, 2013, page 365).This study shows that patients who are users of prosthetics say that they are uncomfortable and that the prosthetics create more problems then ever. Thus the idea that prosthetics are a source of pride is questionable, as they frequently cause infections and often malfunction.
