OK Prosthetics
OK Prosthetics is a non-profit organization working in partnership with Össur Prosthetics.
Using cutting edge research and technology, OK Prosthetics has developed a new method for producing and fitting artificial limbs, which yields far more comfortable results than traditional thermoplastic limbs, typical in developing countries.
Why this limb makes sense
- Despite the astounding fit, training for technicians takes only 1-2 days and does not require a technical background.
- Rehabilitation facilities are not necessary.
- Limbs can even be fitted on location, as WRF demonstrated during its pilot program in Pakistan.
- Once the patient is fitted, physical therapy is seldom required.
- WRF and OK Prosthetics believe that the goal is not about the limb--it is about getting people back to work, back to their familes, and back to living their lives.
