Future and advanced concepts facilitate considerable opportunity for the powered prosthesis. Since the powered prosthesis constitutes a mechatronic system, many other trends of industry, science, and engineering are anticipated to provide technological advance on the system, subsystem, and component levels. Currently powered prostheses are equipped with localized wireless connectivity, and this capability can be augmented to Internet connectivity through a smartphone or portable media device. Synergy with the Internet of Things is envisioned to substantially advance the adaptive capacity of the powered prosthesis much to the likeness of the plasticity of and intact lower limb. Remote tele-rehabilitation is projected to enable unique therapy opportunities while alleviating implied logistic constraints inherent with traditional therapy sessions. Another advanced concept is the increasing significance of 3D printing. 3D printed materials are predicted to eventually attain property characteristics, such that they could be incorporated for structural elements of the prosthesis. Image scanning techniques may be applied to emulate skeletal and cosmetic features of the intact lower leg for 3D printing. In summary many opportunities exist regarding advances for prosthetic technology.
