Our brain doesn't actually reorganise itself after an amputation

Previous research in macaques suggests that part of the brain reorganises itself when a limb is removed, but now a study in people has turned that idea on its head

Every day at Anew Life Prosthetics, we see firsthand the profound effect a prosthetic or orthotic device has on a person's life—it's not just a device, it's a new beginning.
We are our patients' biggest advocates, fighting for their right to mobility and independence. But increasingly, we face frustrating delays and outright denials from insurance companies.
This isn't just a business problem for us; it's a deeply personal one for the people we serve. Each delay is a day a patient is left waiting to walk, to work, to hug their family. Each denial is a roadblock to a life of quality and longevity. Healthcare should empower people, not create an obstacle course to their well-being.
We believe that reform is long overdue, because no one should have their health and hope held captive by red tape." Health care should not be an impediment to longevity and quality of life.

Congress Trims Medicaid, Other Amputee-Serving Programs

Anew Life stands with the amputee community in fighting for equitable healthcare access. Speak up, advocate and contact your representatives!

After months of debate , Congress finally passed a gigantic package of tax and spending cuts last week. The legislation slashes federal investments in health care, nutrition programs, education, and other services that many amputees depend on.

What is the Detroit ADS project?
An Opportunity for an Innovative Solution

Older adults and people with disabilities (PwD) in Detroit lack adequate transportation solutions that can increase opportunities, access, and independence.
