What is Amputee Rehabilitation?

Goals that you will achieve :
Wound Healing and Stump Care:
Treatments to help improve wound healing and stump care are important to prevent infections and ensure proper healing of the amputation site
- Pain Management:
Both post-operative and phantom pain (a sensation of pain that occurs below the level of the amputation) need to be managed effectively to ensure the patient’s comfort and to prevent complications
Home Environment Adaptation:
The home environment is adapted for ease of function, safety, accessibility, and mobility, ensuring that the patient can safely and independently navigate their living space
Emotional Support:
Emotional support is provided to help during the grieving period and with readjustment to a new body image. The psychological impact of an amputation is significant, and emotional support is a crucial part of the rehabilitation process
