What makes Universal Limbs' approach different from other prosthetic programs?
Universal Limbs provides comprehensive support that addresses both the technical and emotional aspects of prosthetic adaptation. While many programs focus solely on teaching prosthetic use, our approach recognizes that successful adaptation requires processing grief, building confidence, and integrating the prosthetic into the child's identity and daily life. Research by Abu Hamad et al. (2023) demonstrates that children receiving this holistic support show significantly higher rates of functional independence and psychological wellbeing. -
