Physical Therapy After Knee Amputation

Amputation is a serious intervention that deeply affects your life, both physically and mentally. Leg amputations, in particular, limit a person's mobility and cause difficulties in daily living activities. However, with the right physical therapy methods, it is possible for amputees to regain their independence and movements to a great extent. As Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we aim to improve the quality of life of individuals after leg amputation by offering the most advanced physical therapy methods.

First Steps After Amputation in Physical Therapy
Since the recovery process after amputation is specific to the individual, the first step in treatment is individual evaluation. This comprehensive evaluation, performed with our professional physical therapists, includes factors such as the type of injury, the level of amputation, and the person's general health condition. In addition, we have a detailed conversation with the patient about this process, determine expectations and goals, and create a personal recovery plan.

Strengthening and Mobility Trainings
After amputation, it is vital to strengthen the remaining leg and other parts of the body. Our exercise programs, which focus on strengthening, balance and coordination, also aim to prepare for the use of prosthesis. Our mobility trainings are designed to train individuals to overcome the challenges encountered in daily life, and the patient learns basic movements such as walking, sitting and standing safely.

Prosthesis Adaptation Process
At the Robotic Rehabilitation Center, the prosthesis fitting process is customized according to the individual's needs. A detailed process is carried out by our expert team regarding prosthesis selection, application and patient education. This process is designed to support the patient's new walking habits in terms of both aesthetics and functionality. Training to ensure correct use of the prosthesis focuses on maintaining joint mobility and improving body mechanics.

Functional Exercises and Activity Based Rehabilitation
Post-amputation therapy at the Robotic Rehabilitation Center includes a significant amount of functional exercises so that the patient can participate in daily living activities again. Training in re-acquisition of daily routines such as cooking, dressing and personal care directly affects the patient's self-confidence and quality of life. The use of equipment and many assistive devices is taught to our patients to facilitate participation in activities and promote independence.

Seamless Communication and Tracking
The Robotic Rehabilitation Center team is in constant communication with our patients throughout the post-amputation process. It is constantly monitored to determine how well the treatment is complied with and whether new problems arise, and necessary adjustments are made. Robotic Rehabilitation Center strives to ensure that its patients feel supported and understood every step of the way.
