ATTN: people who need prosthetics & people who have themI have been working on prosthetic limb design, based off technology from my universe. This post serves toward the goal of making them the best they could possibly be [as defined by people who have prosthetics, would/will wear these ones, etc]. So I am looking for input:
- What matters most to you for a prosthetic? What is the bottom line you want out of it?
- What prosthetic technology are you familiar with? What are its strengths (that I could incorporate)? What are its weaknesses (that I could eliminate)?
- What kinds of maintenance do you need? What kind of maintenance regimen would you prefer?
- How would you prefer the prosthetic to look, so much as is possible?
- What are your thoughts, feelings, and opinions on materials? If any are off limts to you, for whatever reason, please let me know!
- What extra features, if any, would you want, welcome, and/or be okay with? (as one example, I have fought someone whose arm detached from their body and attacked people via an energy connection)
- What would you like to know, do, etc to be comfortable receiving a prosthetic? In general, and from me.
These questions are meant as a starting point. And any answers you give me will help me in my design and work on this project. Even if you have no need or interest in receiving a prosthetic from me (completely okay! and some of you have great ones already!), I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Publicly or filtered privately.
Thank you.
