Amputation and Prosthetics Rehabilitation

At Therapy SPOT – Bellaire, we understand the physical, emotional, and psychological challenges that accompany amputations and prosthetics. Whether the amputation is due to a traumatic injury, illness, or medical necessity, our comprehensive approach to rehabilitation is designed to help you regain independence, improve function, and return to the activities that matter most.

Amputee rehabilitation requires a personalized and dynamic plan of care that evolves with the individual’s progress. We recognize that each patient experiences different stages of healing and adaptation, and our team works closely with you to support your journey through those stages—both physically and emotionally.

Our approach begins with infection control and optimal healing, which are essential for the success of any prosthetic fitting. We emphasize the importance of ensuring proper limb care to prevent complications and to promote an ideal environment for prosthetic integration.

Once you are ready for a prosthetic fitting, our physical therapists take an active role in functional movement analysis to identify any areas that may need to be strengthened or stretched to optimize the use of your prosthesis. By working on muscle strengthrange of motion, and balance, we ensure that you can comfortably and effectively use your prosthetic limb for everyday tasks.

Key components of our amputee and prosthetic rehabilitation include:

  • Prosthetic Fitting and Training: Ensuring your prosthesis fits well and is properly aligned to prevent discomfort and promote optimal function. We guide you through the process of adjusting to your prosthetic and help with training on how to use it efficiently for daily activities.
  • Strengthening and Conditioning: We work on strengthening the muscles around the residual limb and throughout the body to support the use of the prosthesis. This helps improve your mobility and prevents compensatory movement patterns that could lead to pain or further injury.
  • Functional Movement and Balance Training: Improving your overall movement patterns, balance, and coordination to help you achieve independence in your home, work, and recreational activities.
  • Pain Management and Scar Tissue Care: Addressing any discomfort or challenges related to the residual limb and ensuring the skin and soft tissue remain healthy as you adjust to your prosthesis.
  • Emotional and Psychological Support: We provide compassionate care and emotional support to help you cope with the challenges of adjustment. Our goal is to empower you to overcome both the physical and emotional hurdles that come with amputation and prosthetic use.

 

At Therapy SPOT – Bellaire, we are committed to helping you achieve the highest level of function and independence. Whether you’re looking to return to work, engage in sports, or simply enjoy everyday life with greater mobility, we are here to guide and support you every step of the way.
