The Fourth of September 2010
We decided to make a video of one of my patients who had a knee replacement. The video showed the impact this operation can make to a lady in a rural place in India. This video raises awareness significantly of a disability which is silently crippling people in India. With so many other life threatening issues and health hazards, the disability due to arthritis is not well known or written.
Arthritis not only limits one's walking ability, also disables a person in activities of daily living. I quantify my patients' disability tailored to Indian conditions and also use international scoring systems. But seeing is believing and for the public, there could not be any better educational method than a video play back.
please visit the sugam charity web site from the useful links site to view this video.
Warm Regards
Chockalingam
