Our
primary therapists in this program have over 40 years of amputee training
experience helping patients adjust to using a prosthetic (artificial) limb.
Therapy begins immediately after surgery for wound care, with swelling control
and proper shaping of the remaining limb. The goal is to regain the flexibility,
strength, and endurance necessary to be successful with the prosthesis.
Working closely with the patient’s prosthetist, our patients and their
families learn how to put the prosthesis on and monitor its fit and function.
Patients train on a variety of walking surfaces and with the assistive devices
necessary to safely return back to standing, walking, and daily activities.
