Disability and Rehabilitation of the Sherpas
Sherpas are a group of people who are renowned for their incredible mountaineering skills and expertise. They are native to the Himalayan region and have a rich cultural history rooted in the mountains. Sherpas have been integral to the success of many mountaineering expeditions, providing logistical support, guiding, and carrying heavy loads. However, despite their impressive physical abilities, Sherpas are not immune to the risks and hazards of mountain climbing. In fact, many Sherpas have sustained disabling injuries while working in the mountains.
