The UNBROKEN National Rehabilitation Center Opens The Doors Of A Prosthetics Workshop In Lviv

LVIV, UKRAINE - SEPTEMBER 26: Patient Andrii, a 41-year-old Ukrainian military who lost his leg near Bakhmut, tries to walk on a prosthesis leaning on the safety handrails on the first anniversary of the launch of the field of prosthetics in the UNBROKEN National Rehabilitation Center on September 26, 2023 in Lviv, Ukraine. The center UNBROKEN invites all willing residents of Lviv to see what the daily work of a large team of prosthetists looks like and all the stages of manufacturing artificial limbs. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukrainian doctors have faced the need for prosthetics for civilians and military personnel who have lost their limbs because of landmine and gunshot wounds. That is why, on September 26, 2022, the first mobile workshop was launched at the UNBROKEN National Rehabilitation Center. Today, there is a modern multi-section workshop with an area of 250 m², equipped with the best equipment of the world’s leading manufacturers. During the year of operation of the prosthetic workshop of the center UNBROKEN, 215 Ukrainians have already received artificial limbs. Six of them have bionic hand prostheses.
