Abstract

Following the decision of holding the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, prosthetic limbs have increasingly become a topic of discussion. In both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, athletes with prosthetic limbs and young persons who conquer their disabilities compete in all kinds of sports, inspiring so many people worldwide through their courage and determination. At the same time, the advances in prosthetic limbs have been highly commended. From the viewpoint of manufacturers and distributors of prosthetic limbs, this is a gratifying development. As a manufacturer of prosthetic limbs for nearly 50 years, the author describes in this article the width and depth of the appeal in creating prosthetic limbs, together with the spirit of challenge learnt directly or indirectly from many pioneers and leaders in this field, and also attempts to anticipate the outlook and the approaches to be taken in the future.
