Amputation Rehabilitation Program

Where potential becomes reality

Good Shepherd’s Amputation Rehabilitation Program offers a highly individualized and interdisciplinary approach to care after limb loss. Our person-centric program aims to restore you to your highest potential possible — physically, socially and emotionally — through the use of leading-edge technology and hands-on therapy.

Treatment Team

Good Shepherd provides customized, interdisciplinary treatment for amputation that can include:

  • Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians, also known as physiatrists, provide care to maximize function, mobility and independence in patients with limb loss. Physiatrists are specially trained, and coordinate with other members of the treatment team to address patients’ physical, emotional, medical and vocational needs.
  • Physical therapy helps with exercises and stretching to manage pain, improve circulation, reduce weakness and to improve overall wellness. Physical therapists also help patients build the necessary strength.
  • Occupational therapy helps patients develop the skills for activities of daily living (ADL) so they can be as independent as possible. This includes exercises to develop fine muscle control, basic hygiene and eating, and help with assistive devices such as orthoses and special controls or equipment for the home.
  • Speech therapy to help patients whose breathing, swallowing or speech is impacted.
  • Neuropsychology supports patients’ mental health with a “yes I can” perspective. Neuropsychologists specialize in how brain function relates to neurological and physical function and helps the patient and their family face diagnoses, conditions, and disabilities.

Technology

Good Shepherd utilizes state-of-the-art technology and proven methods to give brain injury patients the highest quality care. Our clinicians evaluate each patient’s needs and determine which technologies can help you reach your highest level of recovery and participation in life.
