RE: Proposal to engage in
research and study on the benefits and usage of Bone Growth Stimulators.
Introduction
The
following information is a proposal to engage in a practical research study on
the benefits and the usage of bone growth stimulators. Bone growth stimulators are
used on people who suffer from nonunion bone fractures. This proposal contains
information on bone growth stimulators and their usage, the growing demand for
them, why it will be beneficial for me to research about them, my
qualifications, and my four week research plan. Researching medical devices and
treatment is common in today’s society, due to the evolving disease community.
The world’s population is growing as well, and there are more opportunities for
medical accidents to occur.
Why Research will be
Beneficial to Me
My
major is Kinesiology, and our curriculum is very anatomically and
physiologically based on the human body, especially the musculoskeletal system.
Bone growth stimulators deal specifically with the skeletal system, and a
little bit of physics, which I have completed 3 courses in as well. I intend to
go into the field of physical therapy, and knowledge of this product will put
me ahead of other people when it comes to attaining job placement after school.
The medical sales field is another option. Selling a product is all about
knowing the in’s and out’s of how it works, how it’s better than other related
products, and how to get the best usage out of it. With a broad spectrum of
researched facts about bone growth stimulators, I may have a great advantage in
the future if the opportunity may arise for me to sell this product to
professionals who are interested in obtaining in bone growth stimulators
Need and Understanding of
Bone Growth Stimulators
There
is a specific population who are recommended for bone growth stimulators if
they suffer from a broken bone. Smokers, alcoholics, people who have diabetes,
or people who suffer from autoimmune diseases are prime candidates for usage.
This demographic of people is quite vast in the United States, so more research
on this product makes sense moving forward in the medical future. Bone growth
stimulators are also used in conjunction with traditional methods, such as casting and splinting. It can also be used as an implantation device, especially for spinal vertebrae fusions.
Benefits of Bone Growth
Stimulators compared to other treatments
In
certain cases, this product can be used as a safer and much less expensive
option to surgery. It also has been seen to have some positive effects with
people who suffer from bone diseases, such as osteoporosis. Finally, bone growth stimulators can make a huge impact on a bone that has not healed all the way due to the certain behaviors a patient may exhibit explained previously.
During
my time in college, it personally seems that I have studied nothing but how the
human body is composed and how it works. I have also worked in hospital rehab,
gathering many observation hours and getting the chance to see any instances to
wear a broken bone was in play and what was being done about it. Finally, I
have seen bone growth stimulators myself, so it is not fairly new to me. I know
of people who work with them and they would be great references to my research.
Plan for 4-week Research
Report
Week 1: Gather all information,
scientific articles, medical device journals, etc. necessary to device
importance, significance, and usage.
Week 2: Continue all research and begin implantation into research portfolio website. Begin rough draft of main article.
Week 3: Finalize rough draft of
report. Begin construction on supporting research articles and research presentation to audience.
Week 4: Finalize research portfolio presentation and present to
audience.
Summary
The
previous information was proposal to engage to research the benefits and usage
of bone growth stimulators. I am asking you for permission to increase my
knowledge on this product and find out how effective this product really is. These findings
may be beneficial to myself as well in my future endeavors.
