Sitting on an exam table, she chats with Alison Morton, who carefully molds a cast around McMullan&#8217;s thigh and knee to create a prosthetic. The short film follows the pair, focusing the lens on the lower appendages as Morton measures, molds, and smooths a model that will help shape a new limb. As McMullan tries the leg on and shares how it forms to her body, she offers a unique view into the meticulous science behind the process of fitting the medical aid, along with the special intimacy between a prosthetist and a patient.<\/p>\n<p>Watch &#8220;Fitting&#8221; from Aeon Video on<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/aeonvideo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Vimeo<\/a>.
