Limb Loss

The loss of a limb affects the rest of an individual’s life. Recovering from such a traumatic experience is unquestionably difficult. Many victims require not only physical therapy after an accident but emotional therapy as well. Limb loss includes loss of a toe, arm, finger, leg, foot, hand, or any other jointed appendage on the human body.

Limb loss can be caused by:

Auto Accidents
Work-Related Accidents
Equipment Malfunction
Defective Products
Medical Malpractice

Physical Therapy

Orthopedic physical therapy is usually an outpatient treatment for post-operative joints and amputations. Joint mobility, muscle build-up, and electrical stimulation are some of the tools used to help the healing process. This treatment concentrates on muscle, bone, or tendon related injuries. The goal of physical therapy is to empower and deliver optimal physical function.

Physical therapy usually includes exercise which enhances or preserves physical fitness and/or health. It is targeted training for injury, physical condition, or to help prevent health-related problems in the future. Stretching can reduce stress on the joints; core strengthening can increase the back/abdomen for overcompensation after limb loss; weight lifting strengthens muscles; cardiovascular exercise increases oxygen and blood flow.

Prosthetic Training

Prosthesis is an artificial extension of the human body and can serve as a replacement for a lost limb. The process generally consists of a prosthetic fitting, accessory and skin care training, balance training and family education.

Emotional Therapy

Emotional therapy treats the body and mind by acknowledging and accepting the pain of limb loss in a healthy and constructive manner. It is designed to help with conditions such as anger, depression, low self esteem, relationship issues, and self-destructive behavior.
