About Us

About us

We are a scientific & research charity founded on 19 November 2023 in the United Kingdom to design, create and facilitate pathways to prosthetics and orthotics for victims of complex blast injury. We chair a voluntary team of trustees & world renowned consultants in the field of P&O and rehabilitation.

This includes a specialist physician in the field of PMR and one of the best Prosthetists & Orthotists in the world. Together with our team of consultants we have over 50 years of experience in this field.

This allows us to develop our own assessments and workflows. We focus on providing the gold standard in interdisciplinary care for the rehabilitation of complex blast injury, and staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the P&O sector for complex patients.

This commit to long term follow up on each patient. The journey to walk again, or regain mobility, is unfortunately lifelong and our main goal is to ensure end-user satisfaction, preventing the discard of the medical device, as is all too common.

As a scientific organisation, we provide assessments and consultancy, expertise and knowledge to other organisations to enhance or create their workflow.

Helping people regain their mobility, learn to walk again is what motivates us. As our friend and former trustee, Sobhi Sobho, a CPO at Otto Bock, and victim of traumatic amputation, puts it; ‘it is Food for our soul.’

Our team selects patients based on their medical needs, vulnerability, suitability, and accessibility and evaluate their injury using our own PMR assessment. We have our own risk assessments and safeguarding systems in place to prevent abuse of any kind.

What this means is, if they meet our criteria, we can provide prosthetics & orthotics for life for that person, with your donations. Our donations strictly go to established P&O centres & gold standard rehabilitation end-to-end as per our charitable objects.

Our focus right now is on the cohort that are in Gaza, but we are open to replicate our work in other areas if the funds allow.

We raise awareness of Gaza’s limb difference community and their condition, through their rehabilitation journey.

We believe that only someone with an amputation can relate to another person who has just suffered one, and that is why we started the #isawnothingbutbeauty campaign to send these messages to Gaza’s victims of blast injury.

Furthermore, we selected certain victims to highlight their story and to identify the new #gazaslimbdifference community to the rest of the world.

Our work has a huge impact on the patient and those we work with, and the Royal Family have expressed an interest in our work. We are furthering our work in the field of research and development to enhance our knowledge of blast injuries, traumatic amputations, and other types, streamlining our workflow to create efficient processes based on the latest technology.

Ukraine has a cohort of amputees due to the landmines that have been placed there and we are aligned with the response that was created and the models that were trialled, improving on them with the lessons learned.

This means we work with the world’s leading institutions such as the Centre for Paediatric Blast Injury at Imperial College and the Centre for Pain Research after Traumatic Injury at the University of Bath to conduct clinical trials, such as new knee that was developed at Imperial Colleage, and clinical studies on pain management in children.
