Research Summary:

Grace's research focused on improving the design and mobility of lower limb prosthetics. By studying user preferences and experimenting with different materials and mechanisms, she created a prosthetic prototype that can move as well as a natural limb. The project also emphasized personalized design, allowing amputees to choose the color of their prosthetic. This research contributes to the development of more comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing prosthetics.
