20.01.2022 2020 has been a tough and challenging year and for some it's been made even more challenging with restrictions, lockdowns and limited interaction. Today is R U OK? day, reminding Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK?. Remember there's more to say after R U OK? If someone says they’re not OK, make time to listen, encourage action and check in. A conversation could change a life. https://www.ruok.org.au/join-r-u-ok-day #RUOK?

18.01.2022 The world is turning digital. The world is changing faster now than ever. Accelerating the digital revolution. But digital is not something that we just do or use. Digital is something we have to become. Making the future now. Ottobock is digital. Ottobock is human.

15.01.2022 Did you know there is one amputation performed every hour in Australia, which equates to 24 people per day and almost 8,500 people per year, due to diabetes, cancer, vascular disease, infection and traumatic accidents. This year National Amputee Awareness Week, 4 11 October 2020 is "shining a light' on the number of people in Australia with #limbloss and remind all #amputees that they are not alone. If you get a chance, head out to one of the venues or landmarks across Australia to see it lit up green and help ‘put a spotlight’ on amputation and limb loss.

08.01.2022 Our client Adrian experienced an 11,000 volt electric shock injury working on power lines back in 1999. He was the first person in Australia to receive the i-limb hand and then an upgrade to the latest i-limb version in 2009. Adrian received the Taska - his MYO Upperlimb in May 2020. He is really satisfied with the transition and the time it took to get onto the NDIS scheme, to the time he received his approval. This Myoelectric controlled arm prostheses is an externally powe...red prostheses, meaning it is driven by the aid of electric power rather than the muscle strength of the wearer. The Taska Hand is the most versatile, intuitive and precise bionic hand on today's market with the ability to flex, delivering incredibly natural movement patterns. It can withstand the rigours of Daily Life Activities and is the first multi-articulating, waterproof myoelectric hand made from advanced materials with robust construction. Adrian says he's never been happier with a prostheses, saying it's a super impressive hand that will endure his lifestyle of keeping fit and days out riding with his family or on solo motorbike adventures. Adrian likens limb loss to that of an apprenticeship... it comes in various stages, grieving limb loss, trying to feel 'normal' again, adapting, acceptance then not putting energy into what your limb looks like to others. What matters most right now is being at a fully functional apprenticeship stage of his journey, living a fulfilling life and enjoying his new freedom with the Taska. Thanks for sharing your story Adrian! #bionichand #myoelectricupperlimb #acceptance #spao #ottobockaustralia #ndis @ Southern Prosthetics and Orthotics
