Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Women in India with amputations experience multifaceted challenges including limited prosthetic access and societal discrimination.
  • Gender biases and socioeconomic factors exacerbate vulnerability to unemployment and mental health issues among this population.
  • Existing prosthetic solutions often fail to meet the specific needs of women, particularly those from low-income backgrounds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical need for improved prosthetic accessibility and customization for women with amputations in India.
  • To underscore the impact of socioeconomic factors and gender bias on the well-being of amputee women.
  • To advocate for the development of affordable and tailored prosthetic solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of existing literature on amputation, prosthetics, and gender in India.
  • Review of socioeconomic and societal factors affecting women with disabilities.
  • Identification of gaps in current prosthetic provision and support systems.

Main Results:

  • Significant disparities exist in prosthetic access, quality, and satisfaction among women with amputations in India.
  • Societal discrimination and lack of tailored support systems contribute to poor physical and mental health outcomes.
  • Low-income women with amputations are disproportionately affected and often neglected.

Conclusions:

  • There is an urgent need for affordable, customizable prosthetic options designed for the specific needs of women amputees.
  • Addressing gender bias and socioeconomic barriers is crucial for enhancing the independence and overall well-being of women with amputations.
  • Policy interventions and targeted programs are required to ensure equitable access to prosthetic care and social integration.
