Narayan Seva Sansthan (NSS), an NGO, on Monday conducted a two-hour Live Webinar for differently-abled individuals or amputees who are preparing for prosthetic fitting, via Facebook and Youtube LIVE. The webinar threw light on how to take the right measurements for prosthetic fitting and regarding the functioning of artificial limbs, an NSS release said.
Speaking about the Live Webinar programme, Dr. Manas Ranjan Sahu, Narayan Seva Sansthan Hospital, said, “Fitment of prosthetic limbs are not surgically complicated processes, but it has to be done right so that the beneficiary can feel comfortable with the sudden change in physiology and day to day lifestyle. There are many nuances, rights, and wrongs of this procedure and many questions arise around how to prepare an amputee for a prosthetic fitting. The webinar session answered all these questions. Eminent prosthetics and orthopaedic experts were present.”
NSS has so far offered 13,762 free of cost artificial limbs and 3,51,397 calipers to amputees who do not have the resources to buy prosthetic limbs for themselves.
