The idea of ​​having an amputated limb and being able to receive a prosthesis within a few hours is still a dream in today's world. Scientists and researchers have made tremendous progress in recent years, but prosthetics have been around for decades. The oldest ever discovered was found in Cairo, Egypt in 2000. It was a prosthetic toe made of leather and wood dating back 3,000 years ago (Clements, 2008). This member showed us that, for the most part, prosthetics haven't changed much, but the way they are made has improved. Prosthetic limbs can now be designed using CAD/CAM, computer-aided design and manufacturing. They can speed up the process of manufacturing limbs for patients. The clinical use of this process is still slow to develop in many states and around the world. The most important part of the prosthetic limb for the patient is not the best functionality of the limb, but the comfort of the socket. The socket is where the stump will reside in the prosthetic limb itself. When handmade casts are used, it is difficult to make a socket that will work well for the patient because it is difficult to make an exact replica of the limb. That's why more funds need to be allocated to places that will teach people how to use the CAD/CAM design process and help companies purchase the expensive manufacturing sites to make the limbs. Not only is using CAD/CAM a better process, it is faster and will allow patients to achieve a better fitting limb that they will want to use more often. As mentioned by David Sengeh (2014) in one of his TEDtalks on prosthetics, he explained that people in his country, Sierra Leone, would not wear their prosthetics because they were too painful to wear all the time . They just decided... middle of paper...... your brain. They have already made huge advances in this field of prosthetics by creating some that can be controlled by the brain, but they are not used by a large number of people. In order to achieve these goals, we need to fund prosthetics and orthotics companies. Some still use techniques that have been around for decades. For the field of prosthetics to progress in this world, steps must be taken to educate people about new technologies. I personally hope that in my lifetime I can see prosthetics develop until they can help everyone, not just those who can afford them. This also means that we must not only make prosthetics that work, but also take patient comfort into account. Overall, prosthetics should be accessible to everyone, and the use of CAD/CAM technology should be able to get us there..
