The Department of Defense (DoD) has funded a partnership between
Indiana University, Bloomington, and Ohio State University,
Columbus, to create the Indiana-Ohio Center for Traumatic
Amputation Rehabilitation Research. The program is trying to locate
Vietnam veteran amputees in hopes of gaining a better understanding
of the needs of these veterans. “The objective is to study the
health, psychosocial, and rehabilitation needs of veterans with
amputations to help determine the needs of Vietnam veterans and to
help aid in the rehabilitation and adjustment of traumatic amputees
from present and future conflicts,” the researchers noted.
