4. Two Types of Bioengineering Assistive and Adaptive
helps you but does not change your body
Is a short-term help-not permanent
Examples: ankle or knee braces, crutches, band aids, etc.
List 3 other examples on your paper
helps you and your body is changed
Typically involves surgery
Is a long-term help, often permanent
Examples: artificial heart, Cochlear ear implant, spinal fusion
Adaptive
