April is Limb Loss Awareness Month—a month when amputees and their supporters across the nation participate in activities and events to celebrate the limb-loss community and educate the public and policymakers about amputation and limb-loss prevention. According to the Amputee Coalition, more than two million Americans live with limb loss.
