A push for greater development came in 1945 with establishment of the Artificial Limb Program. The most recent prosthetic limbs are commonly made of plastic and carbon-fiber to create a lighter and stronger device. While devices can now be adapted to perform specific tasks, there are basic components that are included in each design. The pylon is the internal structure that is usually made of metal or carbon fiber and enclosed in foam. The socket articulates with the residual limb. The fit is extremely important and an incorrect fit of the socket can lead to irritation or damage of the skin or underlying tissues. Finally, the suspension system is what keeps the prosthetic attached to the body, typically with a harness, straps, or suction (Clements, 2018). Advancements in prosthetic technology are continuing to be made at various academic institutions and through DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects
