Does access to funding impact someone’s ability to participate in their community?

Barber Prosthetics Clinic & the University of British Columbia

Fun Fact: This project is looking at the unique funding options available in BC and the impact they have on individuals with limb loss.

As Prosthetists, we often see the impact of funding policies surrounding prosthetic treatment on people with limb loss. We embarked on a study to explore the experiences of people with limb loss as they seek to participate in things that are meaningful to them and to capture the impact that funding has on their participation. We have recently finished data collection and will be ready to share the results soon. Stay tuned for more updates!
