Background

People with physical disabilities are often excluded and isolated. This is both due to certain bodily limitations, but also due to societal stigma. Assistive devices like prostheses or ortheses can help them to regain their mobility. This allows them to live independent, healthy and active lives and lets them partake in the society with lesser limitations. This also reduces the need for certain healthcare services (World Health Organization, 2017).
