Motorica India concluded a three-day Continuing Rehabilitation Education (CRE) programme at Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya National Institute for Persons with Physical Disabilities (DIVYANGJAN) (PDUNIPPD).
Designed as a collaborative learning initiative, the programme combined PDUNIPPD’s clinical expertise with Motorica’s technical inputs, allowing participants to engage with contemporary prosthetic systems and understand their practical application in rehabilitation settings. Through demonstrations, workshops and lab-based sessions, participants were introduced to new approaches in socket design, material selection and device customization, with an emphasis on improving comfort, functionality and long-term adoption for users.
A key highlight was live EMG assessments, facilitated using Motorica’s systems, allowing participants to understand how muscle signals are captured and translated into movement. This on-ground exposure enabled a deeper understanding of patient-specific calibration, clinical fitting and rehabilitation.
This programme builds on Motorica’s ongoing educational initiatives in India.
Mr. G. Pandian, Head of Department, Prosthetics and Orthotics at PDUNIPPD, said, “This training programme plays a vital role in preparing the next generation of prosthetists and orthotists, helping them build the practical skills and confidence needed to work with modern technologies. Motorica India’s expertise and forward-looking approach help bridge the gap between innovation and real-world patient care, opening the door to better outcomes for practitioners and users alike.”
Mr. Kavinder Beniwal, Chief Operational Officer, Motorica India, said, “As technology continues to evolve, so must our approach to care, design, and training. This training programme is an important step in preparing the next generation of prosthetists and orthotists with the knowledge and skills they need to keep pace with changing technologies. Our collaboration with PDUNIPPD reflects a shared commitment to learning, innovation, and creating solutions that truly improve independence and quality of life for Divyangjan.”
The initiative forms part of Motorica’s broader efforts to engage with the Indian prosthetics ecosystem through education-led programmes. In line with this, the company 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 with 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.
