      Yes, I definitely do. If I didn’t, I would be doing the wrong job!
      There are so many different aspects to prosthetics with so much to be interested in. I work specifically on designing a technology to make them fit better to prevent further injury and improve comfort. Other people work on robotic legs, some work on connecting the prosthesis to the brain so it can be controlled and others work on the materials to make them lighter and stronger. That’s not even all the things you could do!
