Inspiring Entrepreneurial Story:
Invention for Amputees Develop by a
Novice. Here’s a great story about
entrepreneurship. It also reminds one of
what anyone can do if they just apply
themselves. In a recent article we read
about Katherine Bomkamp, a 20-year-old
who has developed a prosthetic device,
the Pain Free Socket, that is
intended to ease phantom limb pain in

Torticollis
(Twisted Neck)
Torticollis literally means "twisted neck".
It is derived from the Latin terms torta meaning
twisted and collum meaning neck. The term
"torticollis" actually refers to the positioning
of the head. There are many underlying
conditions that can cause a head and neck
position that would be considered torticollis.
The version of torticollis most commonly
found in infants is Congenital Muscular
Torticollis, meaning:
Congenital - present at
birth
Muscular - affecting the muscles
Torticollis - literally means 'twisted neck'

Club Foot
A club foot, or congenital
talipes equinovarus (CTEV), is a congenital
deformity involving one foot or both. The
affected foot appears rotated internally at the
ankle. TEV is classified into 2 groups: Postural
TEV or Structural TEV. Without treatment,
persons afflicted often appear to walk on their
ankles, or on the sides of their feet. It is a
common birth defect, occurring in about one in
every 1,000 live births. Approximately 50% of
cases of clubfoot are bilateral. In most cases
it is an isolated dysmelia. This occurs in males
more often than in females by a ratio of 2:1.
