Hello! My name is Zachary Klion and I am an eleventh grader at Suffern High School in Rockland County, NY. Currently, I am involved in the second year of an authentic three year research project sponsored by the NSF. Over the past two years I have thoroughly researched and have become very well read in various aspects of prosthetic devices, as well as the psychological developments amputees undergo post-surgery. By the end of this three year program I will have entered my project into the Intel Science fair as well as several other highly competitive events. My current research goals revolve around the enhancement of the amputee's knowledge regarding the prosthetic market shortly after amputation as well as their preference in certain types of prosthetic devices in correlation to gender, age, as well as other factors. The following link will direct you to this survey. I encourage all prosthetic wearers to take the survey as its results will prove to be an asset to the amputee community at large! Thank you for your time!
