Hope you all had a fantastic break, but we are back and ready for a fun semester!! We are starting our second semester in Intro to lab. The first week was full of labs which were all hands on. I love doing the hands on projects and seeing the finished product. Some of the projects we completed this week include bending metal, metal calipers, rivet tool, and a biomechanical tool. It is so satisfying to build your own project from start to finish using all the machines and tools. It just gives me excitement for the future for when we have our own patients and we will be making custom devices for them! This week definitely made me look forward to the upcoming weeks and diving into the O&P field the next couple semesters. I am so ready to learn all there is to learn about Orthotics and Prosthetics in this new year!! Let’s go 2022!
