As of 2017, nearly 58 million people globally were living with a limb amputation, a number expected to rise annually. The primary causes of amputations vary by region, with peripheral vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and trauma being the leading causes. Over 50% of these amputations are transtibial, or below-the-knee. Prosthetic limbs have been a key treatment for amputees, with technological advancements significantly improving patient outcomes. However, prosthetics remain costly, with basic lower limb prosthetics ranging from $5000 to $10,000, and adaptation to these devices is challenging, leading to a 22% abandonment rate within the first year. Users face numerous issues, including phantom limb pain, muscle imbalances, discomfort, and social stigma.
