ISHWAR Society Spreads Awareness About Advance Treatments For Physically Challenged People
Physically challenged patients received quality treatment.
- (1888PressRelease) September 03, 2010 - Chennai - Taking yet another step forward to help & support physically challenged people, ISHWAR (International Society for Human Welfare and Rehabilitation) organized a continuous rehabilitation education programme on "Management of Neuropathic Feet with Thermoplastic AFOs" (Ankle Foot Orthosis) through its ISHWAR Institute of Prosthetics & Orthotics (IIPO) at Chennai.
AFOs (Ankle Foot Orthosis) which are usually made of thermoplastics are worn on the effected side at the ankle region for people suffering from foot drop.
Foot drop could be due to stroke, cerebral palsy, polio or any other neurppathic foot ailments.
The four day programme was organized with an aim to spread awareness about the latest technique for the use of AFOs and the recent developments like Tamarack Ankle Joint & Diabetic Foot Management. It was conducted by Mr. Charles W Kuffel, President, Clinical Director, Blaine Medical Center, USA. After the brief session by Mr. Charles, the IIPO 3 member team headed by him; assessed the disabilities of 6 people at the Institute and were provided with relevant Orthoses.
Mr. Charles W Kuffel, President, Clinical Director, Blaine Medical Center, USA said "Despite of having latest & advance treatments for physically challenged people, today many patients across the globe are suffering due to lack of accurate information about the use of AFO's which signals strong need for initiatives to make the physically challenged more aware about such modern treatments and devices. The usage of efficient and modular systems can enhance the quality of life of the physically challenged people and I feel very delighted by being associated with ISHWAR Society in its noble act of empowering disabled people."
The moral and diagnostic support provided by the efficient team to the patients which led to an emotional connect is the key parameter for the judgment of the success of the programme. Along with his team of consultants Mr. Charles also enlightened people by giving some basic tips like management of Neuropathic feet, most affected way to apply it using special devices & suggestion to cure from diabetic which mainly leads to amputation to the general public to stay healthy and perfect.
Mr. M. Karropiya, a benefited patient said, "Prior to my visit to ISHWAR, I was very much unsure of my well-being and of returning to normalcy. However, am now thankful to the efficient team for the fitment which is indeed a humane act. The fitment will now change my course of life and will now help me in pursuing my goals."
While the US Doctors headed back to US, after having conducted earlier a similar programme in ISHWAR Institute of Prosthetics & Orthotics (IIPO) at Delhi. They would remain in touch with the patients through e-mails and through the local trainers, for a feedback of the treatment provided.
