Losing a limb can be a life-altering experience that impacts both physical and emotional well-being. At the Methodist Home, we understand the challenges faced by amputees and offer specialized rehabilitation programs to help them recover and adjust to their new reality.
Our amputee rehabilitation program takes a holistic approach, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of limb loss to support patients and their loved ones on their journey to recovery.
Understanding Amputee Rehabilitation
Amputee rehabilitation is designed to assist individuals in recovering from limb loss and adjusting to life with a prosthetic limb. This comprehensive program aims to address the unique needs and goals of each patient while considering the cause of limb amputation – whether it be trauma, medical conditions like diabetes, or other factors.
We recognize that limb loss can have a profound impact on individuals, both physically and emotionally, and our rehabilitation program is tailored to address these challenges.
The Role of Multidisciplinary Care Team
Our amputee rehabilitation program is led by our multidisciplinary team of physicians, therapists, nurses, social workers, and other specialists.
This collaborative approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care that addresses their physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs.
We also place a strong emphasis on family involvement, recognizing the important role that loved ones play in the rehabilitation process and providing support and guidance every step of the way.
Prosthetic Training and Rehabilitation
Prosthetic training is a crucial component of amputee rehabilitation, helping individuals adapt to and maximize the use of their prosthetic limb. Our physical therapists work closely with patients to facilitate prosthetic training, focusing on improving mobility, functionality, and overall quality of life.
We partner with CMS-approved Certified Prosthetists/Orthotists (CPOs) like Allcare Orthotic & Prosthetic Services to ensure that patients receive expert prosthetic fittings and ongoing support. From in-house consultations to follow-up services, we are committed to helping patients achieve optimal outcomes with their prosthetic limbs.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation Services
Our amputee rehabilitation program offers a wide range of services to support patients on their journey to recovery.
These services include physical therapy to improve mobility and strength, occupational therapy to enhance independence in daily activities, nursing care for wound management and pain control, dietary consultation to support overall health and wellness, and therapeutic activities to promote social engagement and emotional well-being.
By providing comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of rehabilitation, we empower patients to regain confidence and independence in their daily lives.
Patient-Centered Approach
At the Methodist Home, we understand that every patient is unique, and we take a patient-centered approach to helping our rehabilitation patients.
Our goal is to tailor our services to meet the individual needs and goals of each patient, ensuring that they receive personalized care and support throughout their recovery journey.
We are dedicated to helping amputee patients regain strength, mobility, and confidence as they work towards returning to their home environment.
