To recognize Limb Loss Awareness Month, Denver-based Range of Motion Project (ROMP) is holding a drive to collect used and gently used prosthetic devices.
The collection program—Components for a Cause—will be held throughout the month and across the nation, said Nicole Ver Kuilen, associate director of development for ROMP. “April is Limb Loss Awareness month and it’s critical we acknowledge the fact that nine out of ten amputees worldwide do not have access to prosthetic care,” she said. “This month, we can do something about that.”
The O&P EDGE caught up with Ver Kuilen to get her perspective on what makes this drive and recognizing Limb Loss Awareness month a special event for not only the limb loss community in the United States, but also around the world, especially in less resourced countries. MORE
