Abstract
We outline a brief history of the technology and state of medical care for individuals with limb loss throughout several eras of innovation in the United States. We review current challenges to preventative and post-amputation prosthetic health access, as well as the racial and socioeconomic health disparities among individuals who experience limb loss. We explore scientifically-inspired solutions to bridge the gap between current and emerging advanced technology and health coverage that can expand patient access to prosthetic devices and services.
