Description
Researchers at Imperial College London have partnered with the NGO Save the Children to improve the medical care of child amputees that are survivors of wartime explosions. The initiative aims to provide more suitable prostheses that can "grow with the child". This work could prove useful for those hurt in the conflict in Ukraine, where large battle areas have been littered with antipersonnel mines. "There are a greater number of children who receive those injuries, because they tend to play and pick things up and play football in the fields where these landmines might be", says Anthony Bull, Professor of Musculoskeletal Mechanics at Imperial College London.
