I want to compare the much-talked about Cheeta running prosthesis to a the normal running process in terms of force and energy, but I don't know where to start. How would you start the comparison? A mathematical model would be much appreciated.

Expert Solution

As mentioned in comments, the question isn't very well-defined, but I'll seed some ideas for basis of comparison.

Force

Put a series of pressure transducers on the sole of a shoe & on the bottom of the Cheeta
- Measure the distribution/duration of force.
- Compare the amount of force that gets translated into forward momentum.
- Compare the duration of force, see if one exerts horizontal force longer.
Measure the strength of various muscles on both runners, look for discrepancy in muscles used.
Measure displacement of the body of the Cheeta, calculate stress, compare to stress in joints.

Energy

Compare runner's speeds under different loading conditions (50 lbs. backpack, etc.)
Compare runner's speeds up/down hills.
Hook runners up to oxygen consumption monitors, measure VO2max, calculate energy expenditure while running.

Just some ideas, any of which would provide interesting basis for comparison in terms of "force and energy."

PROMPT: Since this is a medical terminology course, we have not really talked much about diversity and gaps in patient care. However, you do engage in active learning activities, which simulate interaction with patients. One thing that is hard to cover in an online class is just how diverse the world really is and how diversity impacts patient care. However, many of you will be going into the health profession. Others will go into the field of health educator. Use...

1. In class, relevant to gerrymandering, I talked about the game of Divide and Choose. There’s a pile of goodies. Little Annie divides the big pile into two piles. Then Little Bobby chooses which of the two piles he wants, and Annie gets the other. The advantage of the method is that both children can see to it that they don’t envy what the other child gets. Annie can divide the big pile into two piles of equal value to...
