Prosthetics Services:
We will, if possible, inform a patient about the amputation process and what to expect from a prosthesis before surgery.
We cover the psychological reactions to the loss of a limb:
- Typical and normal reactions post op and with a prosthesis
- Emotional adjustment
- Impact on family members
The Rehabilitation Process Covers:
- General physical condition and extent of recovery
- Coning process
- Types of prostheses
- Short and long term prosthetic fitting
- We also explain phantom pains
We do our best to take away the major causes of fear by educating both patient and family members.
Special Prosthetic Services Include:
- Hand prosthetics
- Upper limb prosthetics
- Lower limb prosthetics
Once the prosthesis is fitted, as a team, we aim to monitor and motivate the amputee to gain the strength and confidence to achieve an independent lifestyle.
