It is understood that there are currently 14 staff in the Assistive Device Adaptation Department, including 9 professional and technical personnel. The average age of the team is about 30 years old. It is a dynamic young team.
They have to make more than 1,000 prostheses every year, and it has become the norm to stay up late and work overtime.
Yue Shilong, a technician who has just completed the delivery of the prosthesis, said that in addition to making assistive devices every day, he also accompanies the disabled who use the devices for training to adjust the comfort of the devices at any time.
"Our work intensity is relatively high, but it is worth the moment when we see that people with disabilities can walk like normal people through the use of prostheses."
For people with disabilities, assistive devices are the "fulcrum" of new students, and every technician feels deeply about this.
Chen Guoliang, a technician of the Assistive Device Adaptation Department, told reporters that once he went to the countryside to give prostheses to the disabled, the old man who lost his legs in a car accident showed his true feelings when he received the prostheses, which he has never remembered.

"At that time, when he delivered the prosthesis to the old man, his tears shed instantaneously, and he has been thanking me." Chen Guoliang said, his tears were also gushing out at the time, and he instantly felt that this job was "aura". of.
At present, this assistive device adaptation team not only makes and replaces prostheses for people with disabilities for free every year, but also visits them regularly to learn about the needs of people with disabilities in time, and truly send them light and hope.
"As disabled workers, we change the quality of life of disabled people through our work, so that they can find the'fulcrum' of life again. No matter how hard and tired, I think it is worth it." Director Zhang Yufeng said.
