EPQ Prosthesis exploration
- Privately funded prosthesis vs.
NHS funded prosthesis
- Is NHS funding enough to supply
sufficient quality of prosthesis?
- Private
medical aid
becoming
more
popular
because of
NHS failings?
- Why more prosthetic
engineer's are turning to
private care and why
patients are turning into

ethical issue.
- Causes of amputation
- Trauma
- Congenital
- Dysvascular
- Prosthesis types
- Cosmetic

- How can the clear
divide of prosthetics be
merged for optimum
performance/function
- Can
there
ever
be a
perfect
standard
equilibrium?
- Internal
- Upper limb
- Lower limb
- Is there a difference in the
funding and research of upper
limb or lower limb prosthesis,
therefore affecting the quality?
- Social stigma against
human amputees
- How lost limb affects how people
treat amputees. Trauma amputees
met with pity or respect,
- Why are amputees
judged
- Amputees constantly stared at

amputation and
how that benefits
the individual (EG
dysvascular, so
now no problems
in limb)
- congenital, may not be a
sudden problem without
limb, as may have been
raised without it.
- Stronger and more useful prosthesis
- conserves energy
- improves quality of life through use.
