My partner for Steam Abstracts was Rebekah Vickers. Her project was about prepatellar bursitis. She showed a clay model representing prepatellar bursitis on the knee cap. This can develop from being on your knees a lot for a job or contact sport athletes. This happens because of your bursa becoming inflamed and causes your patella to be irritated. It will then fill with fluid causing more irritation. There are different ways to treat prepatellar bursitis. Applying ice and elevation of the knee should help the swelling go down as well move that fluid somewhere else. I think her objective was a great choice for her project because it described where this takes place as well as talking about the bone itself. I think this was a very cool project to do and it is easy to understand once you read the essay portion. This seems pretty common so I think it was a great choice for a project so people know if they do have knee pain, this might be the cause.
