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

done concerning animals,
as all vets are private care.

for congenital amputees before
trauma or dysvascular?
The ethical issues
behind this choice
The views of both amputees
and non amputees on this
ethical issue.
Causes of amputation
Trauma

Cosmetic
Practical
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
by strangers, why people stare.
Support available to amputees
Trauma amputees and the
funding for psychologist for that
Veterans getting more psychological
help when many accident trauma
amputees need help
Depression caused
by amputations
How NHS funds amputees
pschological needs
Is the help offered by
NHS enough?
Positives of physcial challenge introduced
Invictus games
Paralympics
The psychological
impact of prosthesis
for amputees

Prosthesis type
preference and why
Young vs. Old
Adults vs. children
Sporting vs.Idle
Congenital vs. amputated (trauma,
dysvascular, infection etc)
The positives of prosthesis
The reason for
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.
