Prosthetic uses for Veterans
Date: March 26, 2010
Class Period: 5th

I know that thanks to modern prosthetics, veterans can resume their regular lives after losing a body part. I know that older models of prosthetics consisted of a plastic hub, with interchangeable parts to perform various activities. Prosthetics has evolved with discoveries in bionics, surgery, and technology. Bionics is a version of newer prosthetics that uses electronic connectors to allow the brain to control the robotic body part. The subject speaks to me, because I’m interested in robotics, and electronics used to make the components work. I think that its important to research, because it shows one method that allows veterans to live regular lives after serving in a war.

I don’t know the types of treatments that veterans under go after having the prosthetics attached. I’d like to research some of the different types of prosthetic parts, and how they improve the living conditions for veterans. I’d also like to better understand the therapy that’s needed to learn the uses of prosthetics. Most of the questions I have revolve around the more detailed knowledge of prosthetics, and how they improve the daily lifestyles of veterans.
