Pregnancy-related biomechanical adjustments might result in alterations in gait patterns. These modifications can change spine balance, curvature, and ambulatory patterns during pregnancy by influencing important parts of the body. The musculoskeletal system's responses to structural substitutions during pregnancy are not entirely apprehended. As a result, the primary goal of this review is to gather the important biomechanical replacements that affect gait patterns during pregnancy. Furthermore, these biomechanical alterations are investigated in-depth, and several orthotic interventions are proposed to combat these changes; nevertheless, it has yet to be determined whether or not orthoses are advantageous during pregnancy. In the light of literature, some pieces of evidence are included, but suitable guidelines are lacking to gain a better grasp of pregnancy biomechanical changes and the effect of orthoses.

So, it is necessary to remain open to promote health coverage and support to amputees and disables.

Large number of amputees has been increased since few years in recent report of WHO and World Bank. To cater such large number of population, recommendations are suggested which not only covers the introduction to novel coronavirus but also describes the entire frame-work for organizations to regulate themselves in this current epidemic situation. The recommendations accommodate somehow all administrative and management steps with correlation of clinical and non-clinical aspects. Moreover, it emphasizes on quality maintenance, assuring patient support and preventive initiatives regarding COVID-19 pandemic. It is requested to take help from this article and make your efforts to continue to assist people in need during this time.Keywords: COVID-19, Coronavirus, Clinics, Disability, Orthotics, Prosthetics, Pandemic, Workshops.
