Rehabilitation After Amputation

The loss of a limb results in a permanent disability that can significantly impact a patient's self-image, self-care, and mobility. Rehabilitation begins during the acute post-operative phase, immediately following surgery. As the patient's condition stabilizes, a more comprehensive rehabilitation program is typically initiated.

Physiotherapy Services for Amputees

We offer specialist physiotherapy treatment and support for individuals who have undergone lower limb amputation. Our physiotherapy team provides assessment, rehabilitation, and advice tailored to each patient's specific needs.

Physiotherapy Before Prosthetic Fitting

We provide assessment and rehabilitation services for patients being evaluated for a prosthetic limb. This phase includes:

  • Strengthening exercises
  • Balance training
  • Walking practice with early walking aids

Physiotherapy with a Prosthetic Limb

Patients fitted with a prosthetic limb must attend physiotherapy to learn to walk safely and effectively. The process includes:

  1. Initial gait training within parallel bars under supervision
  2. Transition to walking aids such as frames, crutches, or sticks
  3. Practice at home once a safe and stable walking pattern is achieved

The duration of this process varies by individual and amputation type, typically taking 3 to 6 months.
