Anand is a 13 years old son with limb length discrepancy(right lower limb) and he stays with his father Goutam Kumar Ram , & mother Manju Devi and his youngest sister. His family background is very poor , they stay in 1 room which is rented, his father works so hard because he wants his children to study well in school. At the age of 3 years Anand parents noticed about his limb length and took him to one government hospital where the doctors said they cannot do anything if they will do the surgery then it has risk.
Parents were confused from doctor commitment and they didn’t do anything because they were scared. In the month of December 2018 we found him in a door to door survey and explained about GRIRR. He had Tendon Achilles contracture on his Rt. Lower Limb. They started to visit our center and do regular physiotherapy at the center as well as at home.
