Psychological Outcomes Of Amputees With Van Nes Rotationplasty Procedure
No full textRotationplasty is a surgical procedure where the affected bone (including the knee joint) is resected and the tibia (lower leg) is rotated 180 degrees and reattached so the ankle joint forms a functional knee joint. This procedure is not common and if an individual meets certain criterion, is an alternative option to an above knee amputation or limb salvage. Studies have shown that rotationplasty offers some functional and long-term benefits versus an above knee amputation. One of the biggest deterrents of rotationplasty is the cosmetic appearance following the procedure and parents and families fear this will cause psychological and social problems for the child in the future. There are limited studies evaluating the psychological impact of the procedure. This study will include participants with rotationplasty (13 years and older and at least a year out from surgery) and a control group of participants with an above knee amputation or limb salvage that were candidates for rotationplasty, but opted for the alternative treatment plan. These participants will be given a survey to fill out, including assessments on quality of life, body image, emotional well-being, social functioning, and overall satisfaction with the procedure and prosthesis. The responses to the survey will be analyzed and compared to outline any notable themes, patterns, or differences in psychological impact and state between the groups. This will provide valuable insight to clinicians in optimizing treatment decisions, provide better information to patients and families about the potential outcomes of the rotationplasty psychologically, and lead to the development of improved rehabilitation processes and prosthetic interventions for individuals who undergo this procedure
Minnesota Twins Professional Experience
No full textThis experience took place at Target Field with the Minnesota Twins during an 8 week period. My primary objective being I hoped to leave this fellowship with practical exposure to various aspects of marketing and to learn what key skills I need to be part of the sports industry. Throughout this fellowship, we had guest speakers from different teams, enabling a broad understanding of each department\u27s role within the organization.
During this fellowship, the scholars acquired hands-on experience in several areas, including game operations, event set-up, marketing, social media marketing, and content creation. That exposure allowed for the application of theoretical knowledge gained in academic settings to be applied to real-world scenarios. This experience helped close the gap between knowledge and practical application. Every guest speaker reinforced the importance of collaboration, adaptability, and continuous learning. The sense of family within the Minnesota Twins organization is the root of their success
