Event Details

Major lower limb amputation is a life changing event that can significantly impact an individual’s physical function. Physiotherapists play a crucial role in the rehabilitation journey of patients with major lower limb amputation. Therefore, it is important for Physiotherapists to be able to assess, track and prognosticate outcomes, set goals and implement management plans appropriately in the care of major lower limb amputees.

With the introduction of the National One-Rehab framework, physiotherapists will need to be familiar with prognostication for coding of rehabilitation diagnostic group and be able to perform various outcome measures for tracking of patient outcomes across the continuum of care. Therefore, this full day workshop aims to equip physiotherapists across different clinical settings with clinical reasoning and assessment skills required for prognostication, perform common outcome measures, goal setting and rehabilitation of major lower limb amputees.
