Last week we met with Teaching Assistant Deepak Siromani about taking a mold of his arm that we could use to create our prosthetic device for weightlifting. He was very cooperative with us and we should be able to acquire the mold soon. The only problem with taking the mold is that we would need the help of a Professional in order to cut the cast off of the arm. We are hoping to work something out that would enable us to meet at a local facility that would assist in taking the cast. Once this has been completed we will set up another meeting with Wyoming Valley Prosthetic which will allow us full use of their equipment to physically make the prosthetic. Although we will be supervised we will have a chance to get some hands-on experience making a prosthetic device.
