What does an amputee assessment involve?
Your assessment is designed to understand your physical, functional and wider rehabilitation needs. This may include your medical and surgical history, strength, balance, mobility, endurance, pain, prosthetic use, equipment needs and personal goals. Your therapist will also consider any neurological, cognitive or psychological factors that may affect your rehabilitation.
Which professionals may be involved in my rehabilitation?
Your rehabilitation may involve a multidisciplinary team including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Clinical Neuropsychologists, Rehabilitation Medicine specialists, Rehabilitation Assistants, prosthetists and orthotists, and nursing or care providers where appropriate. The combination of professionals involved will depend on your individual needs and goals.
Can you help me with prosthetic rehabilitation?
Yes. Where appropriate, our team can work alongside your prosthetic services to help you develop and optimise the use of your prosthesis. Rehabilitation may include gait training, functional activities, balance, stairs, slopes and other activities relevant to your goals.
Can you provide rehabilitation for upper limb amputation?
Yes. Upper limb rehabilitation can focus on developing functional skills with or without a prosthesis. This may include activities such as eating, dressing and other everyday tasks, as well as more complex movements and activities.
Can you help with phantom limb pain?
Our team can provide rehabilitation and strategies to help manage pain, including phantom limb pain. Your treatment will be tailored to your individual symptoms and may involve input from different members of the multidisciplinary team where appropriate.
Can amputee rehabilitation include sport and recreational activities?
Yes. Where appropriate, adaptive sport and recreational activities can be incorporated into your rehabilitation programme. This may include cycling, water-based activities, outdoor mobility and adapting equipment or techniques to help you work towards your personal goals.
Can amputee rehabilitation help me return to work?
Yes. Rehabilitation can address the physical, functional and practical challenges associated with returning to work. Occupational Therapy may help with activity demands, fatigue, equipment, adaptations and strategies to support your return to work where appropriate.
How is my rehabilitation progress measured?
Outcome measures may be used to establish a baseline and monitor changes throughout your rehabilitation. These can help your clinical team track areas such as strength, balance, walking, mobility and functional goals, and guide your programme as you progress.
Can amputee rehabilitation be part of a wider rehabilitation programme?
Yes. Amputee rehabilitation can be provided as a focused programme or incorporated into a wider rehabilitation programme alongside other therapies and specialist services. Your programme can be adapted according to your changing needs and goals.
