Rehabilitation is a vital part of the recovery journey at Superhumans. After receiving prosthetics or undergoing complex surgeries, our patients begin rehabilitation to regain independence. Olena Matvienko, 49, from Kostiantynivka, was injured on June 2024 when Russian missile struck the street as she was bringing flowers to her mother's birthday. Olena suffered a severe injury, resulting in multiple surgeries and amputation. Now, she has received modern prosthetics and require rehabilitation.
At least 60,000 people in Ukraine need limb prosthetics and rehabilitation, with an expected increase of 10,000 amputees each year as the war continues. Most patients are young (average age of Superhumans patients is 35) and have decades of active life ahead. Without prosthetics, they rely on caregivers and social payments; and both they and their families are unable to return to work.
Superhumans Center is Ukraine's leading facility for prosthetics, rehabilitation, and reconstructive surgery for veterans and civilians of all ages, located in Lviv. We already installed 1350+ prostheses for 1000+ patients. Currently we are building two new Superhumans Centers in Dnipro and Odesa to cover more people across Ukraine. We offer a comprehensive approach, including physical therapy, ergotherapy, hydrotherapy, psychological support, and reintegration programs.
Rehabilitation at Superhumans restores independence by providing advanced prosthetics, therapy, and mental health support, allowing amputees to regain mobility and confidence. This enables them to reintegrate into society, pursue careers, and contribute to their communities instead of relying on aid. In the long run, this not only transforms individual lives but also strengthens Ukraine's resilience by empowering its wounded heroes.
