Our services to persons with spinal cord injury is a continuing one since unlike other disabilities, persons with this type of disability need care and assistance for their life time.Our project staff who are trained therapists, continuously monitor and serve the SCI patients in their areas.
During the last 4 months, we had served a total of 129 persons with SCI. Thanks to our therapies and supply of aids like water and air beds, atleast 8 persons got completely relieved of bed sores ( which is a common problem faced by SCI patients.). Another 18 persons progressed well enough to become reasonably independent with ADLS and Mobility training. 2 of the patients learned better urine and bladder management thanks to the therapy rendered by our staff and training in the use of catheters and urine bags.
During this period a total of 57 aids and appliances were distributed to needy SCI patients.These include;
5 motorised cycles
1 Air bed;
9 walkers;
8 Wheel chairs;
15 Water beds;
4 Tricycles;
1Crutch and
14 Catheters.
A covid vaccination camp was also held for all the beneficiaries.
