A prosthetic limb is made from a portable kit that is of relatively low cost and easy to assemble and custom fit to a person in need so that the person can wear the prosthetic immediately, without having to wait for the prosthetic to be manufactured off-site. The embodiments include a below the knee device and an above the knee device that includes an artificial knee. The improved prosthetic is suited for replacing a missing leg but can also be adapted to replace another body part such as an arm, hand or foot.
