In this paper, we will discuss phantom limb pain (PLP) and propose an alternate form of treatment for PLP using prosthetic limbs. We will discuss two key ways in which prosthetics can be improved—through the use of 3D printed materials and the integration of electrical input and feedback systems—and refitted as PLP treatment. We will also describe the practical advantages of using prosthetics as a form of medical treatment and provide criticism of currently used treatment methods, such as mirror…

In his novel, Machine Man, Max Barry creates a dystopian society within a science laboratory complex, Better Future. Brilliant ideas involving technical advances and future high-quality technologies will arise from the science district. Now, for most people, developing technologies to improve the quality of daily life is not morally wrong; however, when developing technologies sail too far to the point where the technology will compel people to create and alter themselves into “biologically and…

lessened because they can compete in a sport where everybody that is competing for shares the same disability or has a disability that separates them from competing with healthy athletes. I believe that athletes with such disabilities as prosthetic limbs and technological enhancements should be put on an even playing field. People are failing to see that cyborg athletes should not be able to participate in athletic competitions, not only because it is unfair to their…

find out the relevance of changes in phantom limb pain, and the effect of visceral stimulation has on the intensity of phantom limb pain. Researchers were trying to investigate and answer the commonness of the change of phantom limb sensation and pain with visceral stimulation in military personnel with amputation and pain intensity. One of the questions that they were trying to answer was why do some people have get phantom limb pain when their lower limbs get amputated? They were looking at…

about 2.1 million people with an amputated limb in the United States of America. About 185,000 people have an amputation each year and about 300 to 500 a day. Many people with amputated limbs have phantom pains. There are many questions about phantom pains such as what they are, who discovered them, what causes them, and how are they treated. Phantom pains are pains that come from body parts that have been amputated. Not everyone with an amputated limb will have phantom pains, but eight out of…

Phantom limb pain (abbreviate to PLP) is a rare occurrence that most people will never experience. PLP is a sensation of pain that only amputees can comprehend. An individual with an amputated limb may experience sensations of throbbing and sometimes constant pain where the limb used to be, which now no longer exists. To a healthy individual this pain may seem fake or imaginary, but to an amputee who experiences PLP, the pain is very real. It is estimated that an astonishing 60-80% of amputees…

military. The patient’s goals are to resume prior level of function and participate in above mentioned activities. The patient currently demonstrates adequate strength and mobility for a prosthetic leg and has the ability to maintain balance on his intact limb. He is also able to ambulate independently using crutches and is independent in basic tasks including transfers…

263 animals, including mammoths, horses, and bison. Other images included patterns of red dots, abstract patterns, and handprints. Most images have softened edges of a single color (usually red or black). Volume and perspective are shown in the back limbs of animals as they reced into the picture plane, and in the frontal and ¾ view turning of heads. The similarities between all of these paintings suggest a single designer, maybe with helpers who used a similar style. The sophistication of these…

It’s hard to say for sure how the upper class looks at us, because I am not one of them, we can only speculate. I don’t feel that anyone can fully understand a category of people unless they’ve lived that life. I feel like I’m a little bit close to what a poor person feels, but I don’t think that an upper class individual could ever feel what a lower class person could.” After asking if she personally believes if these…

Starting off with the bottom class individuals. I would prefer to be in the French revolution if I was part of the lower class. Although famine, taxes, and inflation were negative externalities of the Revolution, I feel the formation of the new form of government from Third Estate was a history changing revolution to be a part of. They created a document that reflected the rights of every individual, not just the nobility. They earned their freedom and as Locke said, “the government’s purpose…
