further Facilitation
St.John’s Hospital Has a IRB which would be approached
soon

5. Challenges Faced
Since the Study has to be published the KANNADA
TRANSLATION is delayed as IRB’s(Institutional Review
Board)’s clearance have to be got
Also for Biasing Issues the Kannada translation should not be
done by our STAFF or Myself.
QOL forms have been given to a third party along with
Consent forms for translation

7. Newly Fabricated KAFO @ APD for SCI
Clients

Community

11. Things to Ponder…….
As POID(Prevention Of Impairments & Deformities) Visit
was made,Mr.Girish A SCI client was ready to get his own
Stimulator for the therapy which is very essential for SCI
people to Re-Educate their spared Muscles.
Since he was from an affordable Family he got it.What about
people who cant afford???
It costs around Rs.2500

12. Mr.Vikrant A happy SCI client told a Big thanks
To APD when visited for QOL visit
