Non-Prosthetic Rehabilitation
Amputee Rehabilitation for Non-Prosthetic Users: How TraumaPhysio Services Can Help
About Non-Prosthetic Rehabilitation
Amputation can be a life-changing event that presents numerous challenges for the individual. While prosthetic rehabilitation is often the primary focus, it may not be suitable or desired by all amputees.
In such cases, TraumaPhysio services can play a crucial role in helping people adapt and regain their independence as a wheelchair user.
What Can a Physiotherapist Do for Non-Limb wearers?
Physiotherapists can provide valuable support and guidance to those that have chosen not to use prosthetics. With a combination of specialist knowledge, considered assessment and patient led rehabilitation goals, a tailored programme can be devised by our physiotherapists which can help the individual to optimise their function and minimise the risk of developing secondary complications.
Regaining Independence
Losing a limb can greatly impact an individual’s ability to perform tasks independently when at home or in their local environment. TraumaPhysio therapists focus on helping the individual to identify areas of their life that they would like to improve, devising progressive rehabilitation programmes to develop the individual’s physical fitness, knowledge and provide opportunity to practice in a safe and progressive manner to be able to complete meaningful tasks independently. By regaining independence, clients can improve their quality of life and gain a sense of control over their circumstances.
Reintegration into the Community
The loss of a limb can also affect an individual’s social interactions and participation in community activities. Through targeted interventions, TraumaPhysio therapists can help the individual reintegrate into their community, whether it be through participating in old hobbies or discovering new ones. This can greatly improve an individual’s mental and emotional well-being.
Introducing New Activities
Aside from re-engaging in previous activities, TraumaPhysio services can also help introduce our clients to new activities that they may not have considered previously. By exploring different options and adapting them to fit the individual’s abilities, our physiotherapists can help our clients to discover new passions and interests.
Through a holistic approach that focuses on optimising function, regaining independence, reintegrating into the community, and introducing new activities, our therapists can play a crucial role in helping people to adapt to their new circumstances and help them to live meaningful and fulfilling lives.
