Limb Loss Rehabilitation
The loss of a limb is a significant, life-changing event. We provide patients with the information, resources, and support needed to recover and adapt to life after amputation of a limb. We work with the highest quality prosthetic groups to ensure that every patient has the right equipment for their unique needs. We are trained in the management of phantom limb pain and wounds associated with prosthetic use.
We aim to help patients achieve the highest level of independence following limb loss. Many patients successfully return to work, family life, recreational sports, and driving. Our team is committed to ensuring full community reintegration for all patients.
Mobility and Function
One of the primary aspects of limb loss rehab involves regaining motor skills. Physical exercises under the guidance of a physiatrist are seen as an outstanding method for assisting these functions as you need to relearn motioning. Movement potential can be assessed by your physiatrist in Suffolk County and then properly diagnosed for further treatment.
Prosthetics
Using artificial devices to substitute for the loss of a limb has been seen as a highly effective method for aiding the recovery process. A prosthetist can coordinate prosthetic rehabilitation, which involves educating the patient on how to properly use the device for their benefit.
