Modern Technologies

As prosthetic limbs have become more popular, newer technologies have been incorporated into the design of these prosthetics to make the limb more and more realistic. Advances in carbon fiber technology have created lighter and more realistic limbs, and electronics have been used to create more intelligent prosthetics that can morph to fit the task at hand. Individuals who have lost a limb are now able to lead normal lives and live as if they had never lost a limb.
