Abstract
Paralympic athlete potential has reached an all-time high: thanks to the power of prosthetics. This literature review aims to explore and address how the latest developments in prosthetics have impacted athletes and their ability to perform in everyday life, as well as competitive sporting events. For this purpose, the most recent and innovative prosthetics will be critically examined. Recent technological breakthroughs have yielded better performance results over the years in the Paralympic games. Prosthetic devices are far more advanced today than they were even ten years ago.These modern prosthetics have unlocked a new world of athletic potential. Modern prosthetics and therapies are solely responsible for an increase in satisfaction for Paralympic athletes and their athletic performance results.
