I participated in the UPenn Global Biomedical Service Program at Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I gained clinical experience with designing and building entire Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) for children with variable conditions of Cerebral Palsy in Zhuhai, China. I utilized negative and positive thermoplastic castings to fit and create the personal orthotics, as well as learned how to communicate with the patient and parents.
