Closing the Quality Gap with Assistive Device Upgrades
Assistive device upgrades are going to be the cornerstone of assistive device rehabilitation that is associated with limitation of technologies both from private and public. Thereby playing a significant role in addressing disparities between public and private healthcare in South Africa.
Limiting Technology to people living with disabilities who have a capacitating need for it is not only inhumane. But grossly counterproductive towards promoting independence and living dignified life with equal access to opportunities like their counterpart.
Therefore, access to quality assistive device is a precondition to equalisation of opportunities for people living with disabilities. It is for this reason that an assistive device upgrade was designed to ensure sustainable provision of quality assistive devices for all at a reasonable cost.
Why This Matters?
- Socioeconomic barriers limit access to high-quality assistive technology both at private and public care.
- Upgrading rather than replacing timely reduces cost while enhancing comfort, usability, function, self-image and confidence.
- Our approach extends the life of devices that people already rely on, supporting dignity and continuity.

Our true prosthetic upgrade case study
Meet our patient, an above-knee amputee facing daunting challenges. His 4-year-old public hospital prosthesis was failing, causing pain and limiting his mobility for long walks. As a cattle farmer, this made his dream of returning to carpentry and driving for his business feel impossible. With no medical insurance, a full prosthetic replacement seemed out of reach.
Instead of the conventional replacement (Cost: R200,781.85), we upgraded and tailored to his functional needs—bringing the total cost down to R159,042.08, saving him 21%!
