Cast Innovation: Reducing the Risk
| Division: | Health Sciences / None | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Calgary Youth | | City: | Calgary, AB | | School: | Calgary Jewish Academy | | Abstract: | A risk exists in wearing a cast while playing sports: you could break your arm at the edge of the cast if you fall. I designed and tested two cast innovations to see if I could increase the force necessary to break a “bone simulant” (wood dowel) casted within. One of these, the elastic-edge cast, was successful and could reduce the risk for cast-wearers. |
