Amputee Rehabilitation

Individually customized inpatient and outpatient programs, are provided to adults with upper and lower extremity amputations resulting from diabetes, vascular injuries and disease, multiple trauma, work related injuries and oncological reconstruction. The program provides comprehensive assessment, treatment and education regarding diabetes management, lifestyle adaptation and health promotion.

Prior to discharge from the inpatient unit, the rehabilitation team, patient and family will plan a weekend home visit to enable patients and their families to identify issues prior to their discharge from Hospital. The patient amputee rehabilitation teams, representing the full range of rehabilitation professionals and medical specialists, work with patients and their families to ensure a smooth transition to outpatient care and the community.
