Basic Trope: Prosthetic body parts start working immediately after being put into the body.
- Straight: Alice loses her arm in a battle. She gets a prosthetic arm, and she can use it just fine soon after it's attached.
- Exaggerated: Alice loses almost her entire body in an accident and is essentially converted into a robot. She requires no rehabilitation whatsoever.
- Downplayed: Alice struggles a bit with her new arm, but it works as intended fairly quickly.
- Justified: The prosthetics are of sufficiently advanced medical technology that adjust easily to the user.
- Inverted: Alice gets a new prosthetic arm, and it immediately goes haywire and doesn't work again.
- Subverted:
- Alice seems to be adjusting to her new prosthetic well, but then the arm suddenly starts choking someone.
- Alice's previous left arm was a prosthetic of the same build. What's the difference?
- Double Subverted:
- It starts working again normally after that little mishap, though.
- It turns out that Alice did mean to choke that person, so the arm is working as expected.
- Parodied: Alice’s missing arm is replaced with a claw grabber toy. She can immediately control it with ease.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Alice takes a realistic amount of time to get used to her prosthetic arm.
- Enforced: Actually having Alice get used to her prosthetic would take up a lot of time and impede on the plot.
- Lampshaded: "Wow! You got used to your prosthetic arm, like, instantly!"
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Alice’s friends expect her to get used to her new prosthetic arm quickly, but she claims that it doesn’t work that way, and struggles to use it properly.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
