LEADIN:
Ukrainians wounded in the war with Russia are being fitted with tailor-made prosthetic limbs.
It means soldiers who have lost legs are able to learn how to walk without crutches.
STORYLINE:
The war in Ukraine has changed Oleh Shkarban's life - and body - forever.
The 32-year old serviceman lost part of his left leg in an anti-tank mine explosion when he was fighting for his country in Kherson last November.
But his injury is not going to beat him and he's come to the Unbroken National Rehabilitation Center in Lviv to be fitted for a prosthetic limb.
Anton Haydesh is taking his measurements.
He's only worked as a prosthetist since January - before that he was a family doctor.
In his new profession, he has also earned a diploma in wood carving.
The aim is to create a limb that will fit his patient like a glove.
“For the stump to heal on its own, (correctly wrapping the leg) is of primary importance. And secondly, the anatomical structures of the stump itself to be well-reflected, so that we can make a cast correctly, so that in the future the stump holder itself does not press on the bone tissue, and so that the patient is happy and comfortable to walk in the prosthesis itself,” says Haydash.
The centre has treated more than 12,000 Ukrainians, including over 500 children, since the Russia's full-scale invasion began.
He says doctors were impressed with his rapid recovery.
