Dear O & P List Members,
I am sorry for the posting of the cost question. I am a physical therapy
assistant and rehab engineering technologist. I am involved in a polymer
undergraduate research internship this summer at the University of Southern
Mississippi. I have a strong interest in prosthetics and my project
revolves around polymers used in the prosthetic industry. Most of the
staff/students here do not have a background in prosthetics, so I am trying
to give them an overall picture of the evolution of prosthetics, causes of
amputations, materials used in prosthetics, and general cost of prosthetics,
etc.
I am looking for general costs of prosthetics, high end and low end. For
example, A basic below knee prosthesis might cost around..., A top of the
line below knee prosthesis might cost as much as....
That's about it. I did not mean to upset people. I am grateful to all who
have responded to my questions in a professional manner.
Sincerely,
Debra S. Lukan
