Amputee Rehabilitation

Amputee Rehabilitation

What is Amputee Rehabilitation ?

Amputation is the procedure where a necrotic or severely injured limb is separated from the body of an individual. The process will be followed by the placement of a prosthetic limb. Amputation rehabilitation is the series of physiotherapy exercises and procedures to see to it the prosthetic limb restores the functions of an anatomical limb and works well with the rest of the body. Amputee rehabilitation is done in nine phases starting from pre-operative assessment, surgery, post-surgical procedures, and prosthetic assessment to prosthetic prescription, training, rehabilitation, and follow-up. Different amputee rehabilitation procedures will be followed for different limb rehabilitation based on the patient’s normal functionality.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • The patient’s body condition and surgical, prosthetic assessment is made by the professionals followed by the actual surgery and post-surgical wound healing progress and pain relief procedures.
  • Before the prosthesis is prescribed, the patient’s locus of control and muscle strength is restored using certain medication and physiotherapy methods.
  • Once the prosthesis is made and tried on, the professionals focus on things like the neutral alignment of the pelvis, balance control, mobility, and weight-bearing.
  • Regular exercises like slow walking, moving the limb to and fro, donning, and doffing of the prosthesis by the patients, will be carried on under the professional’s guidance.
  • Skin integrity will be checked throughout the rehabilitation and patient will be guided on which areas they can focus their body weight. A gait/walk rehabilitation program may also be done.

Chronic Airways Treatment

Chronic Airway disease or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is an inflammatory disease affecting the lungs and its associated structures, resulting in obstructed airflow from the lungs. The disease is seen in people who work in areas with toxic fumes, smokers, and people suffering from severe infections or allergens or in people with genetic prevalence.

Kinesiology and Kinetic Link Training

Kinesiology involves the use of a specific tape to relieve pain and facilitate lymph drainage, whereas kinetic link training is a biomechanics concept used to describe the movements of a human body. Simply put, the kinetic link is the movements produced in one joint as a result of the movements from another joint. This training is not only used in muscle-skeleton coordination but also sports therapy and neurological therapy.
