Amputation of limbs as a result of the muscovites war as well as appearance of various injuries, accidents, diseases is becoming widespread in Ukraine. In this regard, the problem of high-quality prosthetics became relevant. The review highlights the main types of prostheses, orthoses and materials applied for their production also the problems concerning the research of materials and products. Studies conducted over the past 30 years show that prostheses are being made mainly of metal and polymer composites, as well as natural fiber-reinforced composites. Studies have shown that the good mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites reinforced with fibers of various nature have made such materials promising for the prosthetics application.
