  1. Evolving Prosthetics By Samantha Henry December 2012

  2. My Big question • How have prosthetics progressed into what they are today? • How it works

  3. Research: the start • Sources I used: • Medical Websites • NC Live • Google Scholar

  4. Research = harder than I thought • Break it down • Prosthetics • Anatomy (show complexity) • Amputees • Two Focus points • Prosthetic progression • Changing lives

  5. What I learned • First signs of prosthetics were with the Egyptians • EMG (Electromyography) • Tissue engineering • Affects two million amputees

  6. The new and the old An EMG doing its job taking input in. One of the first prosthetics ever!

  7. From the Egyptians • Like amputees now Egyptians wanted to be whole • Design is simple: • wooden toe in a holster on foot • How fascinating!

  8. Reflection on Writing process • Hardest part was organization of facts • Became easier to write as I got into the topic • Favorite part • Someone reading my paper and saying “I didn't know that!”

  9. The Product: Where to Start • Had a lot of ideas • NXT mind-storms were my final choice • Mentor: Mr. Ebright • He knows the engineering process This is a picture of a page from my beginning journal

  10. Product steps • Research • Built • Program This is me writing in my journal. This is what I was writing.

  11. Product Resources • RobotC • Mind-storm kit • Internet • Computer gaming controller

  12. This was one of my early programming fails.

  13. This is the reason I can even control my robot with a gamming controller.

  14. This is my main program

  15. Reflection • I learned how to motivate myself • Worked around procrastination & organization issues • Ties in with my paper • Uses past and present tech./design • Problem solving with my mentor

  16. What's Next • Two more years of college • Go into creative fields
