The Inner Wheel U.S.A. Foundation, Inc., provides myoelectric prosthesis to children born without or lost an arm or hand through disease or accident. The clinics work with the Foundation to also provide for recycling and distribution of myoelectric limbs.
The Inner Wheel U.S.A. Foundation, Inc. was incorporated in the United States in August 1988. Its overall mission, adopted in 1997, is to further understanding among all people through tangible and effective programs of a philanthropic, charitable, or educational nature.
The children's Myoelectric Limb Project provides an avenue for children whose insurance or family circumstances do not allow them to benefit from the latest updated technology. Turning "disabilities into possibilities" is not a dream but a reality of the Inner Wheel U.S.A. Foundation.
Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics, Inc. with over 600 clinics nationwide and the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) work with the Inner Wheel U.S.A. Foundation, Inc. by bringing new technology to those in need.
The Foundation receives support from professionals in the field of myoelectric prostheses for children. These professionals offer knowledge and encouragement. You can help enable limb deficient children grow and participate in many two-handed activities of this world. Help us "Give a Child a Hand" with a generous donation.
