Major
lower limb amputations have a severe physical, mental and
emotional impact on amputees, affecting their mobility, ADL performance and
mental health. It is therefore crucial that their management is holistic and
this is achieved through the aid of a
multi-disciplinary team. As we journey down the continuum of care for an
amputee patient, clinicians need to understand the considerations that can
affect an amputee’s prognosis.
This
3-part webinar series consists of lectures and case studies, presented by the
multidisciplinary team members who specialise in the area of Amputee
Rehabilitation, to aid participants in the understanding of a multidisciplinary
approach in caring for an
amputee. This workshop also aims to provide participants with insight on how
different members of the multidisciplinary team, prognosticate the ability of
an amputee patient to use a prosthesis.
Furthermore, participants will
get a chance to listen to a first-hand account of the rehab journey and
challenges, shared by one of our amputee patients
