For Wounded Soldiers, Prosthetic Help At Home
Advances in military medicine mean that more soldiers survive injury on the battlefield, but many come home with missing limbs. Thankfully, military field medicine has a companion in the effort to rehabilitate soldiers living with such severe loss: prosthetic technology.
At home, soldiers turn to Colonel Paul Pasquina, medical director of the amputee program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. for the latest in prosthetics. Pasquina is also the Chief of the Integrated Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at Walter Reed.
