As part of Limb Loss & Limb Difference Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the resilience, courage & determination in our community. Today, we want to see what strength looks like for you. #LLLDAM2026

PAD can also cause wounds and increase the risk of limb loss. The good news? Many of these outcomes are preventable. Education and early care are key—knowing what to look for and acting quickly can make all the difference. #CareMatters #LLLDAM2026

As we continue to raise awareness for #LLLDAM, we’re highlighting the link between wound care and limb loss—especially for those with diabetes and PAD. In Canada, ~3 million people live with diabetes, and 1 in 5 may develop foot ulcers, which can lead to amputation if untreated.

Make everyday tasks easier with smart home devices! 🏠 With Amazon Echo Dot or Google Nest, you can control lights, thermostats, and more—using just your voice or phone. 💡 Tip: Start small—control one device and see how it feels! #WinPO #MobilityTips #SmartHome #Accessibility

➡️ Infections Severe infections can sometimes lead to tissue damage that requires amputation if not treated effectively and in time. Prompt medical care is critical in preventing complications. (6/6) #HealthAwareness #LLLDAM2026

➡️ Congenital differences Some people are born with limb differences due to genetic or developmental factors. These differences are part of who they are—and with the right support, individuals can thrive. (5/6) #InclusionMatters #LimbDifference

➡️ Cancer Certain cancers—like bone or soft tissue cancers—may require amputation as part of treatment to stop the spread and protect overall health. Treatment decisions are made carefully to support the best possible outcome. (4/6) #CancerAwareness #LLLDAM2026

➡️ Trauma & accidents Accidents—from car crashes to workplace or sports injuries—can sometimes result in limb loss due to the severity of the injury. Prevention, safety measures & rapid medical response are key. (3/6) #SafetyFirst #LimbLossAwareness

Diabetes & poor circulation (~70% of amputations) Complications from #diabetes can reduce blood flow and sensation, increasing the risk of wounds and infections that may lead to amputation if not properly managed. Early care & monitoring make a big difference. (2/6)

Most people think limb loss only happens after an accident—but that’s not the full picture. In Canada, there are several leading causes of limb loss. Over the next few posts, we’ll break them down and share why awareness matters. (1/6) #LLLDAM2026 #LimbLossAwareness

In Manitoba, we’re proud to offer local care in Winnipeg, Dauphin (prosthetics) & Portage la Prairie (prosthetics & orthotics). Care close to home means connection, support & walking with you every step of the way. #AccessibleProsthetics #CommunityStrong #LLLDAM2026

This April, as we celebrate 40 years of #LLLDAM, we reflect on how far care has come. Prosthetic & orthotic services have advanced, and awareness has grown—but access to care still isn’t equal everywhere. #CareCloseToHome #ManitobaPride

Try 40 steps, arm raises, circles, or balance—or mix it up! Listen to your body, have fun & keep moving all month. Share your progress so we can cheer you on 🙌 #MoveForAwareness #LimbLossAwareness
