MINES: SOCKET AIR PUMP (2)

Our Innovative and Life-Changing Solutions

Challenge:  Socket Air Pump
Challenger:  Veteran who is a transtibial amputee
University Partner:  Colorado School of Mines
Student Team: Ian Gordon, Jason Matney, Alexander Merritt, Bradley Peacock, and Jacqueline Pierce
Faculty Advisor: Donna Bodeau
QL+ Program Manager:  Scott Huyvaert


Project Summary:

The students are tasked with finding a solution for a veteran who is a transtibial amputee to minimize the number of times his prosthetic would need to be removed for volumetric adjustment throughout the day. The goal is to produce a simple system that could be utilized within existing prosthetic sockets that could accommodate changes in the volume of the residual limb.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
