US Clinicians extend delivery of care by monitoring prosthetic
function via the OneStep app on soldiers´ phones when they are back
on the front lines in the Ukraine.

- Protez Foundation, the non-profit helping Ukrainian children,
soldiers and civilians who have lost their limbs during the war to
get free quality prosthetics in the US, today announced they have
partnered with OneStep, an innovative platform for digital physical
therapy using pioneering science that turns any smartphone into a
clinical-grade motion analysis lab, to provide remote care for their
patients.

Protez Foundation is committed to helping rehabilitate and promote
the opportunity for a normal life to Ukrainian soldiers, civilians
and children, who have suffered limb loss during the war - its goal
is to raise money to support prosthetic treatment and rehabilitation.
The average cost of treating one patient is $15,000, and the average
time spent in the US for each patient is 3-4 weeks. Before the end of
the year, Protez Foundation will have helped over 30 Ukrainians in
need of a prosthetic.
