Motorica, a leading company in the upper limb prosthetics, building on the Motorica’s ongoing educational initiatives in India, has introduced an educational initiative under its University of Medical Cybernetics, aimed at creating structured learning opportunities for prosthetics professionals to build relevant competencies and skills. The platform already provides Indian specialists access to online lectures.
The first session, titled “Human First: Patient Interaction in Prosthetic Care,” focuses on practical aspects of engaging with individuals post amputation, covering physical, psychological and social dimensions of recovery. It explores communication approaches, common challenges, patient adaptation to prosthetic use and ways to build trust, drawing on clinical experience and current research.

By focusing on skill development, clinical exposure and knowledge exchange, such initiatives highlight the role of collaboration between institutions and technology providers in strengthening rehabilitation services in India, while contributing to ongoing efforts to improve the overall quality of prosthetic care.
Recently under a Continuing Rehabilitation Education (CRE) programme at Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya National Institute for Persons with Physical Disabilities (DIVYANGJAN) (PDUNIPPD), students, clinicians, prosthetists and orthotists were exposed to hands-on learning and practical applications.
