The present and the future in pediatric prosthetics are bright as a result of ongoing development of new components, materials, and techniques. The focus of clinicians, therapists, and researchers should be to determine the best way of matching components, techniques, and socket designs to the dynamic needs of the child as he or she develops from infant to adult.
