Abstract
Hansen's disease leads to deformities of the lower and upper extremities. Eventually, these deformities become a serious handicap and limit the functional capabilities of the afflicted. This paper defines the characteristics of individuals suffering from Hansen's disease and demonstrates that disabilities caused by Hansen's disease can be overcome by: (i) use of splints, (ii) reconstructive surgery, (iii) modification of the articles and tools of daily use, and (iv) proper job--worker matching.
