Rehabilitation isrft just a matter
of artificial limbs
We speak from over 30 years experience.
Rehabilitation of the disabled goes worlds
beyond the making and fitting of artificial
limbs and orthotic devices. Today, in
countries everywhere, centres are being
established to teach these people how to
adjust mentally and physically to the everyday
world around them.
However, the setting up of such centres
does not just happen overnight Careful longterm
planning is essential The environment
and available resources must be considered.
Training programmes tailored to the aptitudes
of local staff. Buildings converted or built
Equipment ordered and installed. Remedial
therapy and medical supervision organised.
In such a highly sensitive and complex
field there is undoubtedly no substitute for
experience, and for this reason numerous
governments and medical authorities draw for
assistance on Hanger.
As pioneers and leaders in all aspects of
rehabilitation and prosthetics, and through
our close association with the British
Department of Health and Social Services, we
are able to devote all our energies to this
essential humanitarian work. We can advise,
assist, and administer the setting up of
modern, efficient rehabilitation centres.
If you would like to know more about the
guidance we can offer, we would like to hear
from you.
