Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

People with an amputation often face a challenging period of physical recovery when they must deal with a wide range of emotional and social issues. Our rehabilitation team understands this and offers comprehensive and compassionate care, addressing both the physical and emotional issues that come with an amputation. Attending to their individual needs, we provide assistance and guidance through training, education and state-of-the-art technologies to help patients overcome the amputation process and lead an independent and rewarding life. 

As part of our amputation rehabilitation services, we will:

• Provide information on amputation and prosthesis options and answer patient's enquiries
• Ensure proper wound care and healing after surgery without complications
• Ensure surgical and phantom pain are well controlled
• Provide dietitian consultation to ensure proper nutrition for wound healing, diabetic control, other medical and metabolic conditions
• Coordinate physiotherapy and occupational therapy to improve patients’ strength, flexibility, coordination, endurance and proficiency in daily life
• Provide clinical psychology consultation for emotional, social and behavioural issues
• Offer a professional fitting service and custom-made prostheses to meet individual lifestyle needs
• Provide training and education on the use and care of prostheses
• Offer follow-up care as needed
   

Our Prosthetics & Orthotics Services team designs and fabricates orthotic and prosthetic devices with state-of-the-art technologies and high-end components to meet each patient’s personal needs.
