The four students in UHart’s Master of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics program helped to fabricate and fit children and adult patients with prosthetic limbs.
Sierra Stout '25 and Jake Lieberstein '25 joined a multi-disciplinary team at AIC-CURE Children’s Hospital in Kijabe, Kenya. The team was comprised of prosthetists, therapists, and investigators. Also on the team were peer mentors—people with limb loss or limb difference, including three Paralympians.
For this year’s trip, which was made in partnership with the Limb Kind Foundation, the team specially fabricated five unique below-the-knee prosthetics, 3D printed in Boston. The prosthetics were hand-delivered to Nairobi by one of the team members, Grace Paglierani ’22, an MSPO alum who is now with the Hanger Clinic.
