This dissertation project explores how amputees use prosthetic technology to perform able-bodiedness, and how they collaborate with bioengineers and prosthetists to develop this technology. American culture values the physical appearance of able-bodiedness and the capacity to perform activities such as standing and walking. Amputees' uses of prosthetic technology to perform such activities are revealing of American conceptions of bodies and bodily movement. An examination of the social collaborations involved in reconstructing amputees' bodies offers an opportunity to study concepts of able-bodiedness and physical disability, and the relationship between bodies and technology in American culture. This project will enable the investigator to do a cross-cultural comparison by supporting travel to India and Cambodia to study the Jaipur ankle-foot prosthesis. The Jaipur foot is a form of Third World appropriate prosthetic technology, and offers an opportunity to develop a cross-cultural perspective on materials, methods of technology manufacture, and the cultural context of consumer use of prosthetic technology. This project will be conducted in two field sites: Sawai Man Singh Hospital in Jaipur, India, and a prosthetics workshop near Phnom Penh, Cambodia. f8 Û-ª þ ; + + Ûª▓ ÑOh ª' +'ª▒0 Ý + Õ $ H l + ¢ ╗ D h + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R:\WWUSER\TEMPLATE\NORMAL.DOT SBR-9617049 -jperhon S u m m a r y I n f o r m a t i o n ( ++++++++++++ # Û ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ is -jperhonis @ +³─‗{▀ @ @ +³─‗{▀ @ Microsoft Word 6.0 2 f8 Û-ª þ ; + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Õªe =- e % j j j j j j j ` ` ` ` ` ` n ` m 1 ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ j l l l + d µ d O n T   3 m j ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ m ╝ j j ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ j ╝ j ╝ j + j j j j ╝ j ╝ s ╝

本论文项目探讨了截肢者如何使用假肢技术来执行健全，以及他们如何与生物工程师和假肢专家合作开发这项技术。 美国文化重视身体健全的外表和进行站立和行走等活动的能力。 截肢者使用假肢技术来完成这些活动，揭示了美国人对身体和身体运动的概念。 对重建截肢者身体所涉及的社会合作的研究提供了一个学习健全和身体残疾的概念以及美国文化中身体和技术之间关系的机会。 该项目将使研究人员能够通过支持前往印度和柬埔寨研究斋浦尔踝足假肢来进行跨文化比较。 斋浦尔足是第三世界适当的假肢技术的一种形式，并提供了一个机会，以发展对材料，技术制造方法和消费者使用假肢技术的文化背景的跨文化观点。 这一项目将在两个实地地点进行：印度斋浦尔的Sawai Man Singh医院和柬埔寨金边附近的一个修复术讲习班。 f8-？ ; + + 你好，我的天啊 Ý + Õ $ H L + ¢ ╗ D H + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R:\WWUSER\TEMPLATE\NORMAL.DOT SBR-9617049 -jperhon S um m m ar y I n for m a t i o n ( ++++++++++++ # Û ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ 是 -jperhonis @ +<$<$ @ @ +<$<$ @ Microsoft Word 6.0 2 f8-？ ; + ++ e % J J J J J J J ` ` ` ` ` ` n ` M 1 ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ J L L L + D µ D O n 不   3 M J ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ M ╝ J J ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ ╝ J ╝ J ╝ J + J J J J ╝ J ╝ S ╝
