At Comprehensive Prosthetics & Orthotics, we understand that prosthetic rehabilitation is an essential part of your journey to recovery and independence after amputation. Prosthetic rehabilitation goes beyond fitting a prosthetic device; it encompasses specialized therapies designed to enhance mobility, build strength, and manage pain. After you are fitted with a prosthetic leg or arm, we will help you use it efficiently by guiding you through the most important activities.
A prosthetic limb does not have a mind of its own, you must train it and treat it as an extension of your limb to make everyday tasks easier. We help you learn to control your movements, extend your expertise, and provide vigilant care to fully utilize your prosthesis. Working closely with your physician and physical or occupational therapist, we create a personalized rehabilitation plan that addresses your unique needs, helping you regain control and quality of life.
Physical therapy is fundamental in helping prosthetic users adjust to their new limb. Our physical therapists guide you through essential exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and balance, ensuring you feel confident and capable with your prosthesis. Therapy sessions focus on building the skills needed for daily activities, whether walking, standing, or more complex movements, helping you fully integrate your prosthetic device into your life.
Pain management is a critical component of rehabilitation, especially for those adjusting to a new prosthesis. We offer guidance and techniques to manage phantom limb pain, residual limb discomfort, and any other pain that may arise during your rehabilitation journey. Our approach includes therapeutic exercises and other proven methods to help you achieve a comfortable and pain-free experience with your prosthetic device.
Strength training is essential for both upper and lower-limb prosthetic users. Our rehabilitation program includes tailored strength exercises focusing on core, limb, and muscle stabilization to help you achieve better control and function. Building strength improves prosthetic control, helps prevent fatigue, and enhances endurance, enabling you to perform daily tasks with ease and confidence.
One of the main goals of prosthetic rehabilitation is restoring and enhancing mobility. We help you achieve a smooth, natural gait through targeted mobility exercises and gain comfort in moving with your prosthetic device. Our team focuses on retraining movement patterns, from basic steps to more dynamic motions, ensuring you can confidently navigate your environment and regain freedom of movement.
We understand that children with prosthetic needs require specialized care. Our pediatric rehabilitation program is designed to help young prosthetic users develop the skills they need to thrive. With age-appropriate exercises and engaging activities, we focus on mobility, balance, and strength, ensuring that children adapt to their prosthetic devices to support their growth and development. Our compassionate team works closely with families to create a positive, supportive environment for every child.
