The Service

We train local prosthetists, advice and supply components in low income countries and post-war zones.  In a typical project, two highly experienced prosthetists will train two leg-fitting teams.  The training is "hands on" from day one.  After training, leg makers are fully qualified to fit prostheses using the O.K. method.  A trainer comes for a follow-up visit and provides further support as needed.  The trainers also provide advice on rehabilitation and arrangements are made for continued supply of components.

Two pilot projects in Pakistan and Mozambique were a great success.

With two leg making teams, a work station can produce 50 prostheses in a single week and 2500 in a year!
