Red Net Moment Yiyang, December 23On December 21, the Taojiang County Disabled Persons' Federation invited technicians from a company in Wuhan to fit prosthetic limbs for 54 physically disabled people in the county to solve the problem of "difficult travel" for the disabled.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the hall on the first floor of the Taojiang County Disabled Persons' Federation was full, and the physically disabled people from 15 towns and villages in the county came to the adaptation and mold taking site on time, and the staff registered the information of the attendees one by one to ensure that the prosthetic adaptation and impression work was carried out in an orderly manner. Technicians carefully inspect the residual limbs of the disabled on site, carefully measure the markers, take plaster samples and make molds, and "tailor-made" the prosthetics for them.
In addition, technicians will install the completed prostheses for the disabled free of charge on the spot, and explain to each disabled person the matters that need to be paid attention to when installing the prosthesis, as well as the basic knowledge of post-maintenance and maintenance, so that each disabled person can better use the prosthesis. Wang Youqing, 61 years old this year, is a native of Majitang Town. Thirty-two years ago, he lost his right limb in an accident. After receiving the notice, he waited here in the company of his wife early that morning, becoming the first disabled person to try on the fit prosthesis and successfully complete the adjustment.
Thanks to the party and the good policy, my husband finally has a 'new leg', and he can walk normally again, and we are very satisfied. Wang Youqing's wife, Mao Zhidong, said happily on behalf of his wife, who was not good at words. Many disabled friends who are fitted with prostheses said that walking again can not only reduce the financial burden of their families, but also provide a strong guarantee for them to go out of the house and actively create a better life.
Pi Chang, head of the ** unit of the Taojiang County Disabled Persons' Federation, said, "We hope that in this way, we can improve the quality of life of the disabled, enhance their self-confidence in life, and improve the physical and physiological activities of the physically disabled." ”
