Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ

1. What is your working EQ?


What is the most effective way to secure a residual limb inside a fitted socket?






2. What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format.


A pin system is one of the most effective ways of suspending a limb in a socket as it is more secure.






3. What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?


My mentor. We actually discussed this topic the other day and he said that pins are the most secure form of socket suspension.






4. Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?


My mentor is Ken Smith and I shadow him around his prosthetics office. It really connects all the research I have been doing by showing me a visual.
