EPQ Prosthesis exploration
  1. Privately funded prosthesis vs. NHS funded prosthesis
    1. Is NHS funding enough to supply sufficient quality of prosthesis?
      1. Private medical aid becoming more popular because of NHS failings?
        1. Why more prosthetic engineer's are turning to private care and why patients are turning into customers and following. The wage difference from wealthy amputees. This would be a null project if done concerning animals, as all vets are private care.
      2. Do Prosthetists find themselves drawn to private companies for whatever reason?
        1. Should the NHS prioritise funds for congenital amputees before trauma or dysvascular?
          1. The ethical issues behind this choice
            1. The views of both amputees and non amputees on this ethical issue.
          2. Causes of amputation
            1. Trauma
              1. Congenital
                1. Dysvascular
                2. Prosthesis types
                  1. Cosmetic
                    1. Practical
                      1. How can the clear divide of prosthetics be merged for optimum performance/function
                        1. Can there ever be a perfect standard equilibrium?
                      2. Internal
                        1. Upper limb
                          1. Lower limb
                            1. Is there a difference in the funding and research of upper limb or lower limb prosthesis, therefore affecting the quality?
                          2. Social stigma against human amputees
                            1. How lost limb affects how people treat amputees. Trauma amputees met with pity or respect,
                              1. Why are amputees judged
                                1. Amputees constantly stared at by strangers, why people stare.
                              2. Support available to amputees
                                1. Trauma amputees and the funding for psychologist for that
                                  1. Veterans getting more psychological help when many accident trauma amputees need help
                                    1. Depression caused by amputations
                                      1. How NHS funds amputees pschological needs
                                        1. Is the help offered by NHS enough?
                                          1. Positives of physcial challenge introduced
                                            1. Invictus games
                                              1. Paralympics
                                            2. The psychological impact of prosthesis for amputees
                                          2. Aid available
                                            1. Privatisation is becoming more and more exclusive.
                                              1. How often are animals given prosthesis rather than just put down? Why is this?
                                                1. Extra activity offered by games and etc, basketball etc.
                                                  1. Psychological aid
                                                    1. Physical aid
                                                      1. Cosmetic aid
                                                        1. Emotional aid
                                                      2. Prosthesis type preference and why
                                                        1. Young vs. Old

                                                              1. Congenital vs. amputated (trauma, dysvascular, infection etc)
                                                              2. The positives of prosthesis
                                                                1. The reason for amputation and how that benefits the individual (EG dysvascular, so now no problems in limb)
                                                                  1. congenital, may not be a sudden problem without limb, as may have been raised without it.
                                                                    1. Stronger and more useful prosthesis
