Daniel Opoku-GyamfiThis is a great course indeed. I think as Prosthetics practitioners, we should focus on the aesthetics of our prostheses since this has a great impact on the user's ability in terms of reintegration back into the community. Also, more research needs to be done on prosthetic aesthetics.
