limbs (prostheses) to enhance the function and lifestyle of persons with limb loss. The Orthopedic workshop is the State of the art work shop at Campus Challenge. Here two staff members, who are disabled themselves, understand the children very well and are well trained at Mobility India, Bangalore. These technicians design the orthotics and prosthetics with the guidelines of Orthopedic Doctors. The Orthopedic and Prosthetic devices needed frequent maintenance because, children are growing and their muscles size also increasing and it will require little corrections.

The follow-up system was in place and improved. The clients was reminded a week before to attend the corrections and replacement. Once in a week the technicians follow the doctors to see the clients at their door step.
