It takes time to heal after amputation. We create a customized recovery plan to help you get you back to your highest level of function.
First, the bandages and sutures are removed then cleaned prior to a medical team checking your limb. After the limb is cleaned and cleared by your doctor, you will receive a shrinker sock to reduce swelling of the limb. This is a very important step in the amputee process to make sure the prosthetic limb fitting is accurate.
Once the prosthetic is fitted and secure, rehabilitation will begin. A comprehensive assessment will take place to create a customized rehabilitation plan. This may include inpatient rehabilitation, home health services or outpatient rehabilitation.
