Motorica India has concluded a three-day Continuing Rehabilitation Education (CRE) programme at PDUNIPPD, focusing on advancements in socket technology for trans-humeral myoelectric prostheses.

The programme brought together students, clinicians, prosthetists and orthotists for practical training, combining clinical expertise with technical inputs. Sessions included demonstrations, workshops and lab-based learning on socket design, material selection and device customisation to improve comfort, functionality and long-term use.

Participants were introduced to live EMG assessments using Motorica systems to understand muscle signal capture and movement translation. Training also covered casting techniques, lamination, fitting trials, functional testing, app-based tuning and patient training simulations.

The initiative follows a previous training session conducted by Motorica in Bengaluru at Mobility India Institute, which focused on emerging technologies such as photogrammetry. The CRE programme saw participation from certified prosthetists and orthotists, students and faculty from across India.

Pandian, Head of Department, Prosthetics and Orthotics at PDUNIPPD, said the programme supports skill development and helps professionals adapt to evolving technologies and clinical practices.

Kavinder Beniwal, Chief Operational Officer at Motorica India, said the collaboration aims to equip practitioners with skills aligned with advancements in prosthetic care and improve patient outcomes.

The programme is part of Motorica’s broader education initiatives in India, including its University of Medical Cybernetics platform, which offers online learning for prosthetics professionals. The first session, titled “Human First: Patient Interaction in Prosthetic Care,” addresses patient engagement following amputation, covering physical, psychological and social aspects of recovery.

The initiative highlights collaboration between institutions and technology providers to strengthen rehabilitation services and prosthetic care in India.

“An uneducated Indian is not a free Indian. India’s education system remains trapped in regulations that reward compliance over learning and scarcity over opportunity. The solution to exam leaks, coaching factories and unemployability is not more licensing, but more supply. We need more schools, more colleges, more competition and more education entrepreneurs. A 21st-century education must not only impart knowledge but encourage questioning. India does not need fewer cooks in the kitchen; it needs more cooks, more recipes and fewer bureaucrats guarding empty plates.”

"The larger issue is not political but intellectual. No serious scholar argues that Indian Knowledge Systems begin and end with Sanskrit; rather, Sanskrit served as a connective layer linking diverse philosophical, spiritual and regional traditions. While historical exclusions must be acknowledged, the answer is wider access to knowledge, not rejection of inherited traditions. India’s deeper challenge is the rupture colonial education inflicted on its knowledge culture and the tendency to separate Sanskrit from the living traditions around it. The IKS movement is not a triumphalist celebration of the past but a serious effort to rediscover, debate and revive India’s knowledge traditions, despite the inevitable exaggerations and political appropriations that accompany such a process."
