Loralai: A free medical camp of artificial prosthesis was organized by a national NGO at Divisional Head Quarter Hospital Loralai, on Saturday.
Deputy Commissioner Zaman Khan Bazai, District Chairman Shams Hamzazai and Dr. Muhammad Anwar Shabozai Medical Superintendent visited the camp and appreciated the support staff for treatment of artificial prosthesis, and assure the security and every cooperation indeed from district administration.
From this free camp more than 100 people, who have lost their limbs, will take benefit. Replacements for Missing Limbs, Prosthetics are the term used for all aids, which replace missing limbs or body parts. They are employed whenever a physical deficit needs to be compensated for, after for example the amputation of a body part caused through accident (trauma), vascular diseases, diabetes, congenital disorders, cancer or degenerative tissue disease.
Prosthetics have a very wide range of applications, from replacement fingers to artificial legs. They vary greatly in appearance and in use. What was in the past a simple peg-leg, is today a highly specialized and individually tailored high tech carbon fiber prosthetic leg, sometimes with the refinement of knee joint controlled by a micro-processor. There have also been remarkable developments in the field of arm prosthetics. Steel and leather prosthetics, which are operated by means of belts and muscle movement alone, are now being replaced by myoelectric devices, incorporating small battery driven motors to carry out hand functions.
The free camp will treat prosthetic and orthotic through artificial prosthesis improving the lives of people with disabilities through the use of latest technology in prosthetic and orthotic.
