As a recent sports engineering graduate from the University of Adelaide, I have recently embarked on a journey to design and develop better prosthetics for everyday Australians. My research coincides with the skills I developed at Fusetec, seeking to better prosthesis sockets for transtibial amputees. Although in my early stages of my degree, I will explore all aspects of an amputee's life to understand how these sockets could be better tailored to amputees.
Towards better prosthesis sockets for transtibial amputees.
