Pre- and post-fitting rehab cycle for patients with a lower limb amputation[edit | edit source]
The following table is a suggestion for a relatively normal rehab cycle of patients without complications. For more complex cases additional sessions will be necessary based on case-by-case-evaluation.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Session (1) assessment => decision:
A no fitting => go to table & see A
B fitting after preparation start directly after surgery => go to table & see B
C fitting after preparation start with healed stump => go to table & see C
D postfitting => go to table & see D
___________________________________________________________________________________
|
Final outcome & procedure/ objectives |
Nr of sessions | Content[1][2][3] |
|
A No Fitting Maintenance of a good stump; Prevention of complications |
Up to 6 |
(1) assessment[4]; bandaging (2) donation of mobility aids & training; bandaging (pt education); positioning & mobilization of the stump; scar treatment; transfers (3) training with mobility aids; all of (2) with focus on independence (pt education) (4) like (3) but more independence (5) taking care of the stump: hygiene, skin care, automassage (6) roundup of previous sessions, re-assessment[4] |
|
B Fitting Pre-fitting rehabilitation directly after surgery |
Up to 6 |
(1) assessment[4]; bandaging (2) donation of mobility aids & training; bandaging; positioning & careful mobilization of the stump, until wound is healed then continue with (3) below (after wound closure) |
|
C Fitting Pre-fitting rehabilitation after wound closure |
Up to 6 |
(1) assessment[4]; bandaging (2) donation of mobility aids & training; bandaging; positioning & mobilization of stump; scar treatment; desensitization; transfers (3) training with mobility aids; all of (2) with focus on independence; start weightbearing on stump; strengthening (classical & in function eg. football) (4) like (3) but more independence (5) taking care of the stump[5]: hygiene, skin care, automassage; continue like in (4) (6) roundup of previous sessions, re-assessment[4] |
|
D Fitting |
6 |
(1) first assessment with prosthesis[4]; static exercises; handling prosthesis (donning & doffing); taking care of prosthesis & stump[5] (2) continue with (1); weight shift in parallel bars; gait training with mobility aid (3) static balance exercises; simple transfers; continue gait training (4) dynamic balance exercises; advanced transfers; advanced gait training; obstacle course (5) like (4); start sports activity (6) roundup of previous sessions, re-assessment[4] |
The most important of the cited references can be downloaded for free as pdf-booklets. They give an overview of the whole amputation and fitting process. They also give instructions and ideas for rehabilitation activities and are useful for all physiotherapists, occupational therapists and rehabilitation workers. It is also a good idea to give or borrow them to patients and carers who are interested and able to read English.
In the following videos the contents of the table are shown in more detail:
