Amputee Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation After Amputation

Starting a rehabilitation exercise program following a surgical amputation helps patients to:

• Maximize independence
• Regain productivity
• Enhance daily living skills

At Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital, our comprehensive approach to rehabilitation after amputation focuses on the post-surgical, prosthetic and outpatient therapy — ultimately helping our amputation patients reintegrate into their daily activities.

Benefits to Patients Treated at an Acute Rehabilitation Hospital

Studies show that amputation patients treated at an acute rehabilitation hospital, like Spalding, have better outcomes.

These studies demonstrate that amputation patients who receive rehabilitation in an acute rehabilitation hospital:

• Have a higher level of functional independence 
• See improved locomotion and activities of daily living
