The Making Of A Prosthetic

I never actually thought of the struggle some people live without having the function of one leg or both. It’s something that I never actually thought of until I chose this module, to actually try to make something that will help someone and make their life easier. Making a prosthetic leg wasn’t the easiest thing ever like I thought it would be. We had to make it comfortable enough for the person to be using. As well as we had to make it good enough for the person to move around in. Doing this module was an interesting  one  to do because I never actually thought of creating something that would be useful for someone to use.

 

Before we made the prosthetic leg we had to choose an ability that we had, but had to give up for 5 minutes and I chose the ability to not see. For does five minutes it was a big struggle to not be able to see my surroundings and what I’m doing. As well as I got an idea of how people have to deal with this in their everyday lifestyle and how maybe one day I can help to prevent that from happening. I really did enjoy making something that will help the community one day and I look forward to doing more things like this in the future. – Jackelyn Ortega
