Introductory VisitIntroduce self and role in the rehab team,
emphasize role of patient and familyNeed for reassurance that amputation and
rehabilitation is a positive step towards reintegration back into the community
Goals and expectationsIntroduce team management concepts

Outcomes and PrognosticationWhat the patient may feel or encounter post-
opComplications that may ariseExpected highest level of function possible
given the level of amputationUse of the prosthesis is the patient’s decision
Options for prosthetic devices Life with a prosthesis

Proper PositioningStump should be flat on the bedUse of comfort pillowPrevent flexion contractures- Sitting vs supineAdvocating intermittent positioning in proneSidelying to relieve buttocks pressure

Exercises for the StumpDone every 10 reps / hourActive contraction of the stump muscles is
the best method of reducing edemaFor BKAPatient must imagine the performance of
alternate DF/PFThrough knee/AKAPatient must perform alternate hip flexion
and extension as well as hip abduction
![Page 18: Designing a PT Management Program for Patients with Prosthesis Mark David S. Basco, PTRP Faculty Department of Physical Therapy College of Allied Medical.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b46bb5503465c7e8b5489/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BandagingPrecaution: development of pressure necrosisStump bandaging can never change stump
shape without the danger of interference with the local circulation
A uniformly edematous stump is more readily fitted than one which has been misshapened by bandaging

Active Exercises & StretchingDetermine which muscles decreased / lost
their strength and which muscles gained a mechanical advantage
Determine biomechanical implications to identify appropriate exercise for the patient

Active exercisesStart with the intact sideApplicable across all amputation levels1st day post-op, exercises could be done on
supineAll techniques could be performed except
push-ups if attachments are present.Be vigilant especially for patients with co-
morbidities e.g. DM
![Page 22: Designing a PT Management Program for Patients with Prosthesis Mark David S. Basco, PTRP Faculty Department of Physical Therapy College of Allied Medical.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551b46bb5503465c7e8b5489/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Selective StretchingBKA
Knee must rest in full extension immediately post-op
AKA Major concern is development of hip flexion
and abduction contracturesObtain neutral hip alignment
Gradually altering hip position

Special considerations during exercise prescrtiptionIncorporate play therapy especially for your
pediatric patientsMake sure that activities that you plan to do
are developmentally appropriate for your patient

Donning and DoffingPatients are encouraged to dress
independently as much as possibleAccording to Engstrom (1993)If the patient is unable to put the underpants
independently, it is very unlikely that the indpendent application of the prosthesis is possible

TransfersInitial requirements
Alertness and the ability to comprehend instructions
It is possible to do transfers while the drip / catheter is in situ (PRECAUTION)
A suitable wheelchair should have been loaned pre-operatively and must be self-propelling
